Blue Ridge

Posted by Tracey (Maryland, United States) on 23 July 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is why they are called the Blue Ridge Mountains...always a blue haze hanging around.

Ah, yes, the Blue Ridge mountains. It's where I've always felt truly "at home". We used to live there, but the road doesn't go back:-( Beautiful capture.

Now here's a case where I wouldn't like this half as much in black & white.
The mountains of the Blue Ridge have to be in color just as you've captured them. *smile*
This is beautiful...

Online again :) Hi Tracy, thanks for the comments. That certainly is a blue ridge, lovely, and the bird of prey gliding there is a great feature.
