West Virginia. This is an impoundment on the New River just outside
Hinton. The Bluestone Dam is just out of sight, around the bend to the left. The Bluestone River joins the New just behind the camera. The line on the left hillside is West Virginia Route 20, which offers great views of the river and surrounding hills, with many pull offs for taking pictures. The photo is from mid-October last year; wish I were there to see this year's colors.
Lovely, Jim! Two of my husbands siblings have moved to Hinton and the mountain nearby. This river is so beautiful Sorry you lost your new camera! Bill has rafted the New River...very wild!
ReplyDeleteThe New River is beautiful all along its course, plus wild plus dangerous. My wife's cousin drowned in it while fishing this past summer. But I think you confused me with someone else; no lost cameras here.
DeleteHi Jim...Gorgeous shot, with the blues and fall colors!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice time of year,just wish it wasn't the forerunner for colder weather and snow!!

We get so little snow that it's usually a treat and gone in a day or two. But we did live in Minnesota for two years and understand how one can get tired of snow when it's been on the ground for four months.
DeleteAptly named Bluestone. The blue and orange look great together.
ReplyDeleteJim, I misread NEW river for NEW CAMERA...reading to fast. Sorry for the confusion. I was just reading this to my husband and realized my error when I ready your comment. So sorry about your wife's cousin. It is a fierce river in spite of the peaceful scene. gin
