 Blueridge Parkway, United States






































The place is really amazing. It's a highway that cuts through the smokey mountains in N. Carolina.
I drove solo through these last year february on my way to visit a relative.
It was more than a few hundred miles out of the way, but sooooo worth it.

There is an indian village(Seminole) at the base with streams cutting all through it, and overlooks every 4 miles or so on the road itself.   I used my old DSLRcamera and managed to take a way to many pics. (not those posted : )   )
 I was hanging off ledges like some ghetto-ass photographer.  

While I was at one popular overlook some photographer pulled up, hopped out his car with tripod and $$$camera.  He preceded to scale 30ft up a 50 degree face behind the overlook. He found a comfy spot to sit, plopped down his tripod, and began taking pictures.

And I thought I was doing something...pfft.

I was there during winter(still beautiful). I am dying to go back during fall time, when it looks like the photo directly above.
