fred1st > Confluence of Nameless Creek and Goose Creek. The barn is visible on the banks of the latter. This scene is from October, 2006.

fred1st > Hayscented Fern blows in an autumn wind on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

fred1st > A kind of sad beauty, the remains of an old apple tree that once stood tall and fruitful above a majestic panorama of low Appalachian ridges.

fred1st > Our daughter's house in South Dakota, such a different kind of landscape!

fred1st > Floyd Country Store, Friday Night Jamboree, the "renovated and improved" store a few weeks after it opened in its new garb.

fred1st > The old split rail fences along the parkway are in a sad state of disrepair in many places since the National Park's budget has been so deeply cut (so we can afford the war du jour). But here, the fence is intact and frames a country scene on the boundary of Floyd County.

fred1st > I understand those who leave graffiti in public places and sympathize with their needs in the same way and to the same extent as I do someone who sees fit to roll down their windows and throw the remnants of their Happy Meal along our road. But this contradiction of natural beauty with human trash makes for an interesting composition. Unfortunately.

fred1st > The Blue Ridge Parkway and classic rail fence converge toward the vanishing point on a winter day in Floyd County, Virginia, near Tuggle's Gap.

fred1st > Another elemental parkway shot, on a day when the clouds added interest to every shot. Hmmm. I'm noticing that six images in this little gallery all came from the same day on the Parkway--miserably cold and windy, but a photographic success!
