The Seven Sisters Range of the Black Mountains in North Carolina is part of the Appalachian Mountains. Mt. Mitchell, though not seen here , is just to the left of this photo. It is the highest peak east of the MIssissippi River (6684’) and is accessible from the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is a state park there with a short trail to an observation tower on top of the mountain.
This view is from Mt Mitchell Golf Course in late afternoon .

Love everything about this- the background, the fantastic colours and light- stunning work Jane!!
Thank you, naturelover. I have played this golf course though not this time of year (closed for winter). I think every fairway has an awesome view of the surrounding mountains.

When I saw your title, “Seven Sisters” I was thinking of the wild roses by that name. However, this beautiful picture did not disappoint when I realized I was wrong about the roses.l
I didn’t realize there were wild roses called “Seven Sisters.” Interesting. Your part of the country has much higher mountains and I think it is easier to find vista shots there than in these mountains. Thanks for your compliment!

Just beautiful, Jane! Love the composition!
Thank you, mlou. If I had had my golf clubs with me, I would have had the entire course to myself! (:

Great photo! I really like the lighting.
Thank you, Ray4cam. This was taken late in the afternoon. I would like to have gotten Mt MItchell in the photo but I would have been shooting into the sun. WIll try to get up there and take more photos in the morning light.
