Pine Trees and Blue Skies Over the State Line with Virginia and North Carolina Along the Blue Ridge Parkway

            While at a roadside pullout along the Blue Ridge Parkway with a view looking up and to the east-southeast. This location is at the Virginia and North Carolina State Line. What I wanted to capture with this look was the trees caught in the light of the morning sun and the backdrop of blue skies and clouds. Both the light and the backdrop seemed to bring out vibrant colors in the trees.
