Photohunters: High


The theme this weekend is easy for me because I returned Wednesday from Blowing Rock, NC which is high in the mountains.

I can get high simply looking at the fall leaves.

I'll admit when I first saw the theme I thought, hmmmm, are we supposed to post blood shot eyes and munchies.

I'm glad I can get a natural high from the big beautiful world and skip the rest.

Running water carves through the mountains starting high and going down stream.

I love rocks and creeks and how they rush from high to low.

The adventurous hiker can start at the high altitudes in the NC mountains and hike to sea level on the coast. I think 1000 miles worth of planned trails with over 500 completed is pretty amazing.

Cone Manor sits high on a hill in Blowing Rock, NC.

Cone Park has 21 miles of carriage trails and you can start high at the Manor and go down to Bass lake.

I love Blowing Rock - your photos are wonderful. I hope you had a great time.

LOL re munchies etc. I thought the same thing and wished that I had some photos from "High Noon" at UNC way back in the day.

Happy weekend!

Ha ha -- I like your interpretation of "high" much better (at least it makes far more beautiful pictures). Thanks again for sharing your trip.

This photo hunt meme looks fun and when we get done with our roadtrip (which we haven't really started yet) and back to Florida I am going to think about joining it.
