In September, while visiting Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Betsy and I toured the Hensley Settlement. The Hensley Settlement was established in 1904 by Sherman Hensley and was occupied until the establishment of the park in 1951. I took this photo while walking along a fence-lined lane on top of Brush Mountain.

What a lovely place, George! And particularly lovely because of the wonderful colors — green grass and blue skies!!! Beautiful capture! Hope you’ve had a great weekend!

Looks like it was a great day for sightseeing.

Now that looks familiar. 🙂 That’a a beautiful place and I would love to volunteer and stay up there one summer.

Hello, Happy Scenic Sunday,
Beautiful landscape. One of the reasons that I like participating is I learn about the history of beautiful places. Thank-you for the history of Cumberland Gap National Historical park.

Ahhhhh! That is a beautiful pastoral scene! Gives me hope that spring is coming and all this wonderful snow will melt to nourish a gorgeous meadow like that!

I’d like to sit on the fence with a bottle of cold beer and enjoy the landscape.

It sure would be nice to walk along and see those colors right about now. I love when fences are made that way.

Hi George, what a beautiful place to contemplate history.. like Robert Frost said in his poem ‘Mending Wall’ “‘Good fences make good neighbors’.
hugs,

That is very scenic! It’s almost three dimensional. Great shot George. Thanks for stopping by at mine.

So similar yet so starkly different from Friday’s post! But both are equally beautiful!

I hate to admit this, but I have never been up there…and I know I would love it. This is an especially nice view!

Well isn’t this a comforting photo — especially compared to what we’re looking at right now.
