Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008I took this picture at Graveyard Fields on the Blue Ridge Parkway, a few miles south of Mt. Pisgah, which is itself maybe 20 miles south of Asheville, NC.
I've been to the NC mountains four times for fall colors. This year and 2006 were the two best years I've seen. In 2006, basically all of the deciduous trees in the mountains changed to golden yellows and oranges all at once, regardless of elevation. It made for absolutely stunning vistas. This year, the color is a bit more spotty, but there are more deep reds than I've ever seen before. This shot came from the most striking location we saw all weekend.
Tomorrow, I'll post my last shot from the fall colors photography trip.

Picture-Post-card perfect...Wow does it pop.
great job
It was a pretty incredible spot. Another half mile down the road would've been even better. These colors were around a waterfall. However, it was getting late, and John and I had a 4+ hour drive back to the Triangle.
Oh, I wish I could have seen the beautiful colors. So vivid! Love, Ma
