Fall Colors

I have just returned from a trip down the valley and into the Piedmont area of the state. This time of year the trip is a rich pallet of color. Below are few pictures taken as we crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains on I 64 between Charlottesville and Waynesboro.

The return trip back from Danville was full of color but it beauty was for the most lost as it was raining the whole five hours.

The Shenandoah Valley is wonderful. Your photos show some of the differences between the Appalachian Mountains and the Rockies. The Appalachians are much older than the Rockies and covered in dense forests and an incredible array of plant life. Driving through them is serene.

The younger Rockies are powerful and have different sort of foliage and plant life, nice in their own ways, but driving through them is overwhelming, almost intimidating, rather than tranquil. Both mountain ranges present fabulous, unique opportunities for enjoying nature.
