Yesterday we drove the Blue Ridge Parkway for a while early in the morning. At one of the many scenic overlook areas we stopped to take in Looking Glass Rock, a huge rock outcropping that thrusts up from the rolling, forested hills of the Pisgah National Forest that stretch forever into the far distance. It’s an amazingly beautiful place, and a camera lens just can’t fully capture it’s sweep and splendor — but the pictures are pretty nevertheless.
