Appalachian Elegy, part two

Recognized |
What I wanted to capture in this second part of Appalachian Elegy is the inspiration of the mountains, the celebration of the feeling of being lifted up, close to God, up there with the eagles. You can drink it all in up here; the sounds of the thousands of waterfalls, the endless trunks and crowns of the mountain trees, the wild life, the passions of the spring flowers. Richland Balsam is the highest point on the Blue Ridge Parkway, about a mile high, Not far from Asheville, North Carolina. I first visited it in 1987 and always liked the sound of the name. So here it is as the title of part two of my Appalachian Elegy. estory
