Places Visited, on Three Continents
PART THREE: NORTH AMERICA
PAGE SIX: U.S. State of VIRGINIA
WE lived in Virginia once, for two years, when I worked in Washington, DC (the other time I worked in DC we lived in Maryland). WE lived next to Dulles International Airport, and even the kids could tell the sound of the Concorde from every other airplane when it flew over. Alas, I did not do photography back then, so I have no photos of the forests and mountains we visited in both Virginia and Maryland. During those four years "back East," we visited many places, saw great sights, but they live in memory, not on Memorex.
In late 2009 our daughter Rachel moved to a part of Virginia we had not visited. She lives a stone's throw from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and is just about 45 miles north of the North Carolina state line in Floyd Township.
Our first visit there gave us an opportunity to take some photos from several locales very near where she lives with her significant other, James.
Photo opportunities included:
The home they live in that belongs to James' family.
A home with a huge deck that James helped build.
A hike down a small canyon with much vegetation near James' grandparents' home.
A historic Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway
