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.
