Just went on a trip across the Appalachians, and I picked up a few good pictures along the way.

1st picture is from the Blue Ridge Parkway.  I believe this was from North Carolina, with Tabletop Mountain in the background.

2nd is from the Ocoee/Parksville Dam area, In Tennessee.  Students at an outcrop less than two feet from the road, with loaded trucks hitting the air brakes.

3rd is the class at a open pit mine in the Spruce Pine area of North Carolina.  Mining granitic pegamatite in a few of the areas up there.  Got a decent sample with some phyrrotite in it.

4th pic is of me, 'cause none of the others have had me in them yet.  And let's face it, you needed to see me.

If you're curious about why the first few pics have odd dimensions, it's because they're cropped panoramas of 3-5 other pictures I took at those stops.  Also, I have yet to tone down the contrast in photoshop. 

Suffer.

I'm amazed. Those mountains are breathtaking. We don't have mountains in Denmark, and it's one of the things I love the most about nature. Astonishing.

Are you kidding? The Appalachians are not that impressive (looking). From what I've gathered, correct me if I'm wrong, but they're very old mountains, and so over time they've gotten all eroded away and dull. Next to me however in the Olympics are some awesome views.

As a filler until I find a suitable picture of this place with me in it (I've been there several times now), here is an image for you to oogle at:

I didn't take this picture, just got it from google-ing "hurricane ridge," which is right by where I live.

Not a bad view either.  Looks quiet, and I bet the stars are great.

I'd have to say it's mostly because of graduate school I've been able to go to so many places lately.  And the Appalachians have a lot more to them than you might think.  I used to think they were small and boring, but a good drive through roughly five states cured that.  Not to say I don't love the Rockies or the Cascades.

And yes, those first pics are cropped.  I'll probably end up making some more over the week.
