During the winter months, it is much more common to have clear days along the elevations of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina, than it is during the summer when haze often obscures distant views. My object this day was to primarily make some landscape photos that depicted the farming nature of the region. These are views that most tourists and others often take for granted, in favor of stopping along designated overlook parking areas where most photos are taken. I learned a while back in my photography hobby that it is often better to look for other scenes than just the typical “post card” variety so sought after by others.
