Scenic Sunday #71: Wesner Bald Overlook

The view from Wesner Bald Overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. October 25, 2009.

This is my post for the Scenic Sunday meme, which shares beautiful scenes from around the world.  To see more Scenic Sunday posts, or to join and show your own pictures, click HERE.

Our drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway last month was so wonderful that I took many pictures that I want to share.  The autumn colors were gorgeous in some areas, but even when there wasn’t a lot of color on the trees, the blue sky was dazzling.

The picture above was take at the Wesner Bald Overlook on the Parkway  where it seemed that the mountains were marching to the horizon.  I think that last line of mountains shows why they are known as the Blue Ridge Mountains.
