Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Congrats to the meme "mytownshootout" which just became 4 years old.  I'm sending this as my contribution, and I have only sent one other posting, so I know very little about it yet.  But it looks interesting, and I love sharing my town, Black Mountain, and the next town up the road, Montreat, NC.

    I love some of the older cottages in Montreat. We visited one that was like a time capsules from the Thirties.

    Wonderful place. Is it a real college? Would love to have gone to school there?
