What These 15 North Carolina Photographers Captured Will Blow You Away
North Carolina is a beautiful state, and of course, thousands of photographers attempt to capture that beauty on a daily basis. From dramatic waterfalls, quiet beaches, and peaceful countryside, it takes more than a good eye to photograph the total essence of place that is North Carolina.
Each day, we get a number of beautiful photographs posted to the Only in North Carolina Facebook Page. It’s amazing to see the talented photographers in North Carolina. So amazing, we’ve decided to display some impressive images that were posted to our Facebook page. While I only want to display one picture per photographer (to be fair) those featured have a number of impressive images you can view by visiting their Facebook pages.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life.

1. "The Crossing" captured by Danny Richard Buxton.
"The Tanawha Trail, which parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina, stretching 13.5 miles from Beacon Heights to Julian Price Park. This bridge crosses Wilson Creek in its head water, a boulder strewn creek bed with many cascades as it plunges into Pisgah National Forest. The foliage is beginning in earnest along the streams an ridges at the higher elevations with an explosion of color to show soon across western North Carolina..." -Danny Richard Buxton.
2. Dramatic Mountains, captured by Riding the Backroads With Camera In Hand.
"I was hoping for a sunrise this morning but with all the rain in the northwestern mountains in the last several days, I wasn't really expecting it, but......there is always beauty here in these mountains and I managed to find some. (It's not hard to do.) " - Riding the Backroads With Camera In Hand. This picture was captured in Alleghany County.
"First day of Fall
Yesterday we decided to head out to the Blue Ridge Parkway and hike up to Rough Ridge today. The colors are definitely beginning to pop. Once we reached the top the clouds had leveled out ahead revealing the wide mountain view! It was breathtaking. This year is supposed to be one of the most Epic peak seasons this year. I am most definitely ready for it!" - Nomadic Traveler Photography
6. "First Light, Table Rock Mountain" captured by Anthony Heflin.
