Misty Morning High in the mountains of Southern Appalachia there is a road to fulfill the photographer’s dream: the Blue Ridge Parkway. It winds its graceful way through peaceful meadowlands, magnificent forests and soars among the ridges and mountaintops. The spirit of the Blue Ridge is embodied in its variety. Traveling south just beyond the Virginia, North Carolina border there is about a two-mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway where the trees are densely covered with lichens. In the early morning after a rain, a delicate freshness pervades the atmosphere of the woods. Moisture revitalizes and enlivens the lichens growing on the trunks of trees. When it is misty or foggy, the color of the lichens becomes more saturated. This effect, combined with the old fence, bare branches and enveloping fog evokes a mystical feeling.
