This is one of my favorite overlook sites I've ever found on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It just felt person-friendly, rather than the sterile concrete, and sometimes walled off overlooks, (though there was also that area.) Well, part of it was shaded by trees, and there was still plenty of viewing space. Nothing too exciting besides the apple orchard to see, but as an artifact of humans efforts on the landscape, it's much better than a mine. Drive over to Spruce-Pine (very close by) to see how strip mining can glare over a town on it's mountains.

Looks so beautiful..peaceful in a way too. Our orchards here are just overloaded with apples this year..last year not much. I love the smell of them too..the aroma is wonderful. Nice photos. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Caroldee, I have heard everyone had good apple crops this year, which may make up for the tomatoes that rotted here with too much rain.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely orchard with a view!
