Title: Colors & Clouds - Ride pics! Post by: the_Journeyman on October 18, 2014, 05:25:13 PM Took off on a late afternoon ride to try to catch a sunset. Clouds blew in, but still got some interesting shots along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
From "Mile High Overlook' since it is right at a mile high, looking toward the Great Smoky Mountains park: (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/af35b584-865f-484a-abb8-9301fdb1c041.jpg) Some color in a curve. Yes, I was standing in the middle of the road: (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/27e87e52-fe4c-4a2b-b01b-8a32d30d0c10.jpg) Bleak but interesting shot of the water vapor and sun rays colliding. (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/ad2e3e77-9a24-4601-8041-97bcb7bd87cd.jpg) Up high, the leaves are gone, but I spot a nice little chicane coming up. (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/DSC_0166.jpg) Finally found some color: (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/DSC_0177.jpg) Red really pops when the sun gets low: (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/DSC_0205.jpg) Color and glow in the sky: (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/DSC_0209.jpg) Clouds moving back in: (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/DSC_0217.jpg) Little bit of color left: (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/DSC_0223.jpg) Why these mountains are called the "BLUE Ridge Mountains:" (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/GenMoto/DSC_0233.jpg) JM Title: Re: Colors & Clouds - Ride pics!

I love (and feel kinda right at home too) in your part of the world. Thanks for posting. Title: Re: Colors & Clouds - Ride pics! Post by: the_Journeyman on October 18, 2014, 07:18:33 PM Got some video too, gotta find a free editor to cut some of the bits out. Windows Media on Vista can't handle the MP4s my cam makes. Nothing fancy, just have a couple funny moments I'd like to share.

Title: Re: Colors & Clouds - Ride pics! Post by: muskrat on October 20, 2014, 07:26:56 PM are there any jobs over there? I need to move, this Xanax thing isn't working out for me.

Beautiful riding there Title: Re: Colors & Clouds - Ride pics! Post by: the_Journeyman on October 21, 2014, 04:20:31 AM are there any jobs over there? I need to move, this Xanax thing isn't working out for me. The rural counties have very little, maybe some manufacturing and such. Most are in the big areas like Charlotte and the Triangle.

We can match the scenery here in the NE, but we sure ain't gonna view it on roads like you have. Title: Re: Colors & Clouds - Ride pics! Post by: red baron on October 24, 2014, 06:12:01 AM So wanna ride the rattlesnake, truly miss that part of the country.
