Mountains above the clouds

After doing afternoon volunteer work at the Red House, where I met many visitors on this rainy day, I then took off for home.  I had a lovely time as a volunteer, and though I'd brought my laptop to do some photo editing, I didn't have much chance to do that...mainly was talking to visitors!

It had stopped raining, for a while at least.  At the bottom of Black Mountain St, there's been a construction trailer for a couple of years, just over a bridge over one of the tributaries of the Swannanoa River.  But what caught my eye was the top of a mountain above the clouds.  Of course this is known as fog for those still on the ground.

As I turned around, I looked at the Black Mountain Stove building.  They had a fire here last year, which only destroyed a bit of the building.  They may have resumed business right afterward, and are continuing to complete their building, but it still doesn't inspire a new customer, in my opinion.

 The building in the distance right next to the on-ramp to the interstate, is the Hampton Inn which has been under construction for over a year.

My last view of the mountains above clouds was along Blue Ridge Rd. about where the Interstate goes over it.
