Biltmore Visitors

Biltmore Estate and the house attracts a lot of visitors, and it provides very nice background for some nice family photos. Last year we purchased an annual pass and were able to visit it many times. I was hoping to catch it sometime with the snow during this winter but that never happened, I think mainly to the luck of snow in Asheville or my inability to get there when they had some snow. The funny part is that we never actually stepped into the house yet. I was inside the house about 15 years ago and it was pretty cool, but since they do not allow photography inside of it, I didn’t make into it during last year. We’ll probably do it sometime later this year if we decide to renew our passes.

Hiking, the Easy Way

Every hiking trail is different and depends on the amount of people visit them and who controls them, they can come in all shapes and forms. Some are fully paved and very wide, almost like sidewalks in the city, some are partially paved and maybe have some crashed rock for the surface, and of course most of them are pretty much natural flow of the landscape with sticking out rocks, crevices and polished by thousands of boots wiry roots, there for you to pay attention as you trek the trail. I’m usually not the big fan of the fully paved trails, sometimes I find it actually a bit harder to walk on them than the normal dirt ones. At the same time I do appreciate when they build little bridges across the creeks and stone staircases in what otherwise would be very steep climb or descent. Another benefit of the little bridges is that most of the time they provide nice photo opportunities, but of course this is only if you are looking for such opportunities. I usually do.

Quick post today. Time to show another photo from the Biltmore Estate early summer visit. Right now it looks very different, not much green, but it should be decorated for Christmas and probably all pretty inside. Not sure if they do any decorations outside. I’d like to make a quick visit there before Christmas and see it all decorated. I’d be really happy if it actually snowed to take some photos with some white powder on the ground and naked trees, but so far there is little chance of that. Temperatures are staying in mid fifties, and it is in mid December.

Carolina Sunset

It was a nice evening with a few nice photos that I was able to capture. It would be nice to have every evening like that. The photo was taken on the south terrace at the Biltmore Estate. We are going to try and drive there in the next 3-4 weeks and see how it looks with all of the Christmas decorations.
