Ice Along the Blue Ridge Parkway


You have to love a day like today! Just enough ice to make the scenery sparkle, but not so much that they close the Blue Ridge Parkway! Went for a drive to snoop out the area near Blowing Rock and came upon this site. Looked like some promising photo ops, so I stopped and snapped a few. Not bad. I photographed this old barn about 20 years ago (in black and white), before they put a new roof on. It was more picturesque then, but I guess if they hadn't upgraded the roof, then the barn would be fallen-in by now. It's still pretty! I like the contrast of the red and the starkness of the winter scene.
