Beautiful shot. I’ve been to Grandfather Mnt many times but never in the fall. Would love to seen it that time of year!!
Jane Best replied
Thank you, tomkat. This was taken a couple of weeks ago when the leaf colors were at their “peak”. Every season there has its own unique beauty..

Regards, Rod.
Jane Best
Thank you, Rod. I have been to this place many times and the scenery is always different and always breathtaking.
Robert Woods
Jane,
Fall Color is nothing more than a background, Without something for it to accent you reall have no mare than odd colored leaves.
You have overcome this desire in all of your Autumn photography. Here you’ve used the rock outcropping to make a great Fall Colored Collage.
Great Job…
Bob
Jane Best replied
Thank you Robert, for your comments and observation. I cropped this photo to create a panorama which I think helped.
Patricia Montg...
Excellent composition – fantastic image! Congrats on making the top 10 in the North Carolina challenge and also for the feature on the group’s home page!
Jane Best replied
THank you Patricia. It is very cold, windy, and wintry there now..
Jane Best replied
Thank you, Patricia. As you well know, NC has many beautiful vistas and scenes. Georgia does too.
Jane Best replied
Thank you, Patricia, for your kind compliments!
Sandy Woolard
So Pretty…Congratulations on the feature with all of NC!!!!!!
Jane Best replied
Thanks Sandy for your compliments!
Jane Best
THank you, Sandy. It was 28 degrees, windy, and snowing when I was there yesterday-less than a month after this photo was taken. Needless to say, most all of the leaves were gone.
maremarie
Beautiful picture – and North Carolina is beautiful, too. I wonder why Europeans, e.g., still are not as familiar with this part of the USA as they are with others! :-)
Jane Best replied
Thank you Marie. Also, thank you for your compliment about NC. THere is So much variety in the scenery, from ocean to mountains and lovely areas in between, that it would be impossible for there to be one photograph that could depict the entire state.
Steven Sandner

Jane Best replied
Thak you Steven. I appreciate your compliment!
