105mm f/5 1/400s ISO200
Mile High Swinging Bridge, Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina.
These last three weeks have been both beautiful and brutal on Grandfather Mountain and the high country area. The Christmas Day ice storm was devastating to the forests, trails and power systems. Recover has been slow due to extreme cold weather and it's lingering conditions. The ice damage will have visible markers for years to come in the tree tops. I miss be able to touch the mountain and find another fix of that calm inner peace that so many people understand. Grandfather Mountain is special. We all are sending our thoughts and prayers to the staff and volunteers working to restore operations. We send our love and prayers to the mountain itself.

ReplyDeleteThat is terrible news. My prayers go to Grandfather Mountain, the surrounding areas, and the people involved.
I've been wanting to ride up to the mountains for some photo-ops, and I guess I can scratch Grandfather Mountain off the list.
