Max Patch

[Jon Buffington]

Here were 2 from back in June. My wife and I originally had planned a 2 week vacation out west but due to the coming of a new grandson, we decided to stay within a half day drive of home. This lead to 3 days in Hot Springs, NC. We visited Max Patch one day and I decided to go back at dusk in hopes of a good light show. It didn't quite materialize as I had hoped but not bad. Wildflowers were just starting to pop out as well. Here are 3 images from around at dusk.

Thank you kindly Ben

Beautiful countryside in all of these. I really like the nice pastels in the skies of the first image as a contrast to the deep greens of the foreground.

Thank you Alan. I believe that was my final shot that evening.

That looks like a great location Jon.

I like the sky best in #1. And the ground best in #2. So both are really great, but I am having a hard time choosing between the two.

It is along the Appalachian Trail and a spot I have been wanting to visit from back in my section hiking days. Really a neat spot along the TN/NC state line.
