If it’s Fall, it must be the Mountains

Every time October rolls around, I am irresistibly called back to the mountains. This year, it will be twice. Right now I am in the far western part of North Carolina, crossing here and there into Tennessee, and in a couple of weeks it will be the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. Today I explored the area around Robbinsville. Here are a couple of diverse snapshots from the area. The image of mountain layers was taken from the Sunset Overlook on the Cherohala Skyway; the waterfall is Yellow Creek Falls on Hwy NC-219, and the bridge is also on Hwy NC-219.

Foggy February in Charleston, SC

We don’t get fog that often down here, so it’s always tempting to re-arrange my schedule to accommodate fog when it happens. This morning I hurriedly threw some equipment in the car and headed out to Wadmalaw Island, where it was still drifting thickly over the marshes and creeks. Here are a couple of the images I took on Bohicket Creek.

The First Day of Fall

The temperature was no indication that anything was different this morning, no obvious sign that the Northern Hemisphere had quietly drifted into the fall season, but there was fog, the first fog of the season. There’s something mysterious and beautiful about the way fog rises and dips among the trees and across the marshes and creeks. Although not strikingly obvious in these photos, the fog softened the landscape and the distant views of marsh and trees.
