Of course these photos were taken Oct. 15, 2023. There may be much better color, and at even lower elevations as the week progresses.
From the Pisgah Inn with low clouds and really cold photographer, who dashed to the car. If the sun had been out, the reds and yellows would have shown better. Fair warning however, the Inn closes Oct. 31. However, I think you can still go out on the terraces, but I have no idea about the parking situation then.
The south facing cliffs gave lots of red colors, when we stopped at this overlook on the way north to Asheville.
We could see many hills and mountains, but not much color was evident (no color enhancement on this photo!)
This photo might have popped a bit with some photo editing...not done however.
And I tried a pano shot, which just looks dull actually.
Our next stop...
Bad Fork Valley Overlook is also used in one of my headers. I did a bit of editing for them, but this is just the way it came out of the iPhone.

Again, the south facing hill opposite the overlook showed the brilliant colors we'd been experiencing along the road. So we were totally thrilled at leaf peeping this day!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe colors next to the road look beautiful. Maybe it is not peak time for the colors. Take care, have a great day!
I'm amazed how dull some of the photos look, when we took them we thought those were just beautiful colors! Oh well. Being there is the main thing.
Delete...that is a gorgeous road.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, and we're kind of near the southern end of it.
DeleteI love seeing the photos of the beautiful colors of fall there. So lovely in every way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin, glad you can share these and all that blogger offers us!
DeleteIt doesn't seem to be the best year or the best viewing conditions for great colour. But it is colour still.
ReplyDeleteI think eyesight is better at seeing the colors than cameras!
DeleteLots of colour by the road, it looks pretty.
ReplyDeleteYes, those cuts in the mountains show lots of color!
DeleteBeautiful views.
