Here’s one last pic from yesterday. We started at Grandfather Mountain, but the park closes at 5 PM and there was an hour of daylight left. We drove to nearby Beech Mountain and got there just in time to get a few shots before the sun was blocked by one of the mountains. In this...
Towards the end of last December, Mitzi and I drove to the mountains in search of rime ice, with no luck. It had melted by the time we got there. We had better luck today. It was suitably cold at the top of Grandfather Mountain and the rime ice was spectacular under a clear Carolina...
Haven’t posted anything but music shots for a while, so it’s time for something different. Mitzi and I drove to the mountains Friday on a mission to shoot pics of rime ice on the trees, but it had melted by the time we got there. Rime ice is a beautiful white ice that forms when...
I was having dinner Saturday night with Mitzi (my ex) and she told me she was going to do something cool on Sunday, but it was not my time of day. I asked what it was, and she said that as part of the sixtieth anniversary of the mile high suspension bridge at Grandfather Mountain,...
I meant to post these a few days ago. My last stop at Cape Breton National Park was Green Cove on the rocky Atlantic shore of the island. This is a shot of clouds reflecting in a tidal pool on a dramatic rocky outcrop jutting into the Atlantic. An overview of the outcrop is below....

This view from the end of the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park gives you some idea of what the drive along the Cabot Trail is like. It was about a 2 1/2 mile hike from the road to get to this spot overlooking the Gulf of Saint Lawrence at the northern tip...
Seemed like it took forever to get here, but I made it to the northern tip of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Will be shooting in Nova Scotia for the next few days, so more should be on the way. This rocky sunset is an HDR composite of 7 bracketed exposures. This...
