Blue Ridge Mountains Scenery II

These photos were taken along the Blue Ridge Parkway near the Linn Cove Viaduct. The viaduct was built on the side of a mountain and there are some very nice views through this area of the parkway. It's difficult to get a perfectly clear day because of the haze that frequently hangs over the mountains. The resulting blueish color is how the Blue Ridge Mountains got their name.

Blue Ridge Mountains Scenery

Last week I spent some time traveling through the Blue Ridge Mountains. There was so much to see and take in that I only scratched the surface. It's not the first time I've visited that area, but I never grow tired of the beautiful scenery. Many of the trees and flowers weren't in bloom yet despite being the end of April and early May - I assume due to the high elevation. That aside, there was still plenty to see and photograph.

I have plenty more photos of the area I'll be sharing in future posts.
