Linville Falls. beginning in a twin set of upper falls, moving down a small gorge, and culminating in a high-volume 45-foot drop.
A must see.
It had been raining steadily for days near Linville Falls. Parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway were inaccessible, but the rains made for a spectacular view of the falls after a relatively short hike. This photo taken at 36mm, F/16.0, 6 sec. @ ISO 100.

The Orchard at Altapass is the only orchard that I have been to. Each time I go to Crabtree falls I try to go to the orchard, but this is not always possible because the store is closed during the winter for offseason. I also have never actually gone apple picking, but instead go inside the store and buy the already picked apples. The majority of the times I have visited, there is live bluegrass music. Different kinds of preserved canned foods line many shelves in the store. Homemade fudge is sold, as well as ice cream. During the fall parking can be rough, since it is peak leaf and apple season. This picture captures the vastness of the Appalachian region in my eyes: the life present, the rich colors, and the visibility of the mountains far away. I can recall the sweet smells of the many trees producing apples. #appalachianechoes
