The view from Waterrock Knob. August 4, 2011.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is beautiful in any season and in any weather. Cloudy weather may mean you can’t see as far into the distance as on a sunny day, but on a cloudy day it sometimes seems you can reach up and touch the clouds.

These pictures, from my archives, were taken on a cloudy August day at Waterrock Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway. These photos were taken while hiking from the parking area to an overlook higher on the knob.

Very pretty, George. Especially that last one with the towering white clouds.

Now THESE are awesome pictures of the clouds and mountains, they BOTH look great. I think I do not have any like this, and I LIVE here. It is a rare time when everything comes together like this to look so great. Now you are making me want to go up to the outlook, I think I will be making some trips there. BUT rain all week and the next five or six days!!

The last time I was there was in the month of April and it wasn’t nearly that green. Wish I was there now!

Love the first shot with the wild meadow in front. They all look great when enlarged. The light on the forming thunderhead in the last shot is great too.
