The view from Tanbark Ridge Overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. June 26, 2013.

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world. To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.
Betsy and I met up with my son and his family in North Carolina late last month, and we used that as an excuse to drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Blue Ridge Parkway is sometimes called America’s most beautiful roadway, and I’m not about to argue with that.
The photo above was taken at the Tanbark Ridge Overlook north of Asheville. The hole in the clouds was what first attracted my attention, but the photo also shows why the mountains are called the Blue Ridge Mountains.

It really is a good representative shot of the Blue Ridge mountains. I see those holes in the clouds every so often, and they always catch my eye, too.
