Gorgeous scenery Zurf !  Thanks for sharing the pics!  Where were these taken?

Re: Couple photos from my weekend in the woods

These were taken from bluffs along the Shenandoah River in Andy Guest State Park near Bentonville, Virginia.  One of the overlooks I could drive up to and the other one required an aggressive scramble up a steep, rocky bluff.  My buddy and I were geocaching, and these were some of the scenes we came across along the way.  That's no trick of the camera on the one.  The river really does switch back like that.  There are a series of bends for a few miles.  I just never knew there was an overlook where I could see one of the horseshoe bends so clearly.  I've paddled and fished that section a few times in recent years.  It's just about as lovely from down on the river looking up at the bluffs.  I like in the first one where you can see both the Blue Ridge (on the left) and the Appalachian Ridge (on the right) and straight down the Great Valley of Virginia (aka the Shenandoah Valley).  That's about a thirty mile (or ~50km) wide view right there.

No Jeff, that's the Appalachians.  Some of the other pictures in my Facebook panorama album were taken in Alaska.

OK - I see some of the comments were on earlier photos. Glad to know, I was thinking it strange how similar Alaska looked to my mountains. smile
