Probably Grandfather Mountain with Linville Viaduct below

Linville Viaduct by unknown photographer - it only carries vehicles on the Blue Ridge Parkway, no water like ancient viaducts!

Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results, bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results. This is but saying that nothing can come from corn but corn, nothing from nettles but nettles. We understand that law in the natural world, and work with it; but few understand it in the mental and moral world –- although its operation there is just as simple and undeviating -– and they, therefore, do not cooperate with it.
