VanCouver Port

Looking out on the balcony was this.
Dramatic Skies
(my fav from now on)
Coming down to the port in Vancouver that was
our final stop of the cruise.
(We took a bus to Seattle)





 This is the coolest photo I've ever taken.


I was able to watch the ship dock. 
And wow!
Those lines are HUGE.
And right across from the ship is a marina for sea planes.
Sea planes are soooo cool and everyone
stops to watch them dodge vessels to either land or take off.

Ice and Dramatic skies

Right off the Blue Ridge Parkway there's an exit
for Mt. Mitchell State Forest.
Elevation 6684.
And we went to the top.
And it was 23 degrees and icy. Just a tad nippy.
And really quite pretty.
Nice little detour but just a little bit of autumn going on here.











Fall on the Blue Ridge Parkway

Pretty colors and more dramatic skies.











I gots the hang of photo transfer now.
Hopefully no more drama on that end LOL!

Everything was just starting to turn colors

As we fall into autumn on our leaf peeping tour.
Just to get it out in the open - I managed to blow and entire day away
of photos that I took going through the Cherokee Nat'l Forest.
And didn't that just annoy me.
Since we continued on through the forest
I managed to get a few more.
Some color - some old structures and dramatic skies.
Enjoy!









Dramatic skies seem to follow me wherever I may roam.

Another breathtaking national park

ARCHES NATIONAL PARK





 
The moment you drive up to the entry - there's beauty all around.
It's stunning in magnitude and color.
It looks like architecture gone wild because it all seems so precise
and it really does take your breath away.
It also looks like alien script embedded in the walls.
There are also rocks balanced very precariously and have done so
for a lot of years.
We also looked at the rocks like the cloud game- guess what you can see
in the rock formations and this photo looks like a pharoahs head to me
or from the back side a hunched up bird.
Also there is wonder around every corner, and we really need to 
return and take our time. Because you just had to stop and take it all in.
And photograph it of course.
Its times like this I wish I was better at it.
It was a 4 hour ride from our hotel - each way - so that bit into the time
hanging around therefore we blew through the park so we could see as much as possible 
and make the return trip without incident.
It would've been lovely to hike to the arches and look around but alas,
we felt the need for speed.
Naturally as I learn in the mountains, the weather is fickle.
Sunny skies/dramatic cloudy skies.
I'm getting used to it. Sortof.
This is called Park Avenue.
