Yesterday was a beautiful day with temperatures around 60F, which overnight changed into rain and right now it is cold and grey, weather man predicting abut 4-6 inches of snow in North Carolina mountains and potential snow at lower elevations as well. To cheer myself up I decided to post this colorful autumn photo from North Carolina mountains, where it is probably snowing at the moment.
This is Blue Ridge Parkway’s Lin Cove Viaduct, snaking around Grandfather Mountain. Enjoy!
This is a Lin Cove bridge, obviously not the Lin Cove Viaduct bridge, but it goes over Lin Cove creek on the Lin Cove trail. If you want to go above the Viaduct you’d have to cross this little bridge.
So it is finally pretty much grey, cold and not super exciting outdoors. All leaves are gone, colors disappeared and most places probably haven’t seen any snow yet to mix in some colors. But just month or so ago we had very different picture, just like the one we have here.
This is Lin Cove Viaduct, part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. This spot is kind of in the middle of the Viaduct, not the most common or known by many folks, in fact I didn’t know about it till this Fall and I hiked around there at least half dozen times over last ten years. I wonder if any of these bushes bloom in the Spring, I need to go and check it out next April/May. Anyone have any shots of it in the Spring?
