Lane Pinnacle overlook is one of my favorite spots on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  I think it's because it's the first spot
North of Asheville where I feel like I'm really in the mountains, that I've escaped civilization (setting aside, of course,
that I arrived there on a paved road in a car).  The mountains seem to loom larger there, as there is a deep valley
just below.  This is one of the first successful pictures of the sun behind the clouds, in what is becoming a theme for
me, I think.  I love the contrast between the solidity of the mountains, with their eternal, unchanging shapes, and the
constantly shifting clouds, changing shape, tone, and density with the wind and the quality of the light.
As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a white
mat.  If you would like to
order unframed prints, go to
the "Purchase" page for
pricing.
