October Color
99'
This Site is following a short October Vacation in the mountains of North
Carolina and Tennessee. Check back here often to see updates during
the week of October 17 th. These pictures are all shot with an Olympus D600-L digital camera and are being uploaded each night. Forgive the poorer resolution of the copies that are saved here. The resolution and size have been reduced dramatically so that the images will load fast. The originals in the Computer are much better.
Morning - Rain rain rain... But rain does not stop photography.... sometimes it even helps.
Today, we set out to see some some friends in Burnsville, N.C. Along the way, we stopped to try to get a shot of some great water rapids falling over rocks in a river. We found the dirt road down to the river's edge a bit too wet and uncertain, so Kathleen spotted some wildflowers to shoot. Why not? These shots were taken using the flash. It helps to isolate close images like these and it lets the backgrounds, even when they are close, fade to black.
Afternoon -
Further down the way...we just have to stop every now and then and shoot some of the things we see.
Along 197 from Asheville, on our way to see our friends Wendy and Richard Lapidus, we spotted a few old barns with Tobacco hanging in them to dry. This one also had a wonderful tree, lit up with color.
Then we reached the Lapidus' wonderful red log cabin. The second shot is a view from their back porch.
Took a walk with them and their dog, Molly. Photo courtesy of Wendy.
And a shot of Mr.L in his Old Jeep.
