Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008I took this picture on the Blue Ridge Parkway, south of Asheville, NC at a popular mountaintop called Devil's Courthouse. If you ever get a chance to drive the parkway, this stop at milepost 422.4 is a must. The hike to the top is a bit strenuous (i.e. it's straight up), but at the top, you can see four states (NC, SC, Tennessee, and Georgia).
As for the picture, I'm pleased with it. The dead trees and yellow leaves make for nice foreground, and a stone face always gives a mountaintop character.
One last comment- historically, I've uploaded my files for this blog to my personal web space and then linked to the images. For technical reasons, right now I'm uploading them straight to blogger. I feel like it's creating some issues with my images (i.e. the colors are more dramatic when I view the images in GIMP or Adobe than at this site). I'll try to get it worked out in the next few days.

I would think that bits are bits whether homed on http://3.bp.blogspot.com/ or http://www.unc.edu/. Does blogspot auto-magically resize the photos for you? Are you saving the same resolution images as before? Has your viewer changed? …. Oh and by the way, the photo looks good to me.
I presume that blogger automatically compresses the images?
