Snow Capped

Sunday's snow didn't stick to the ground or the roads down here in the valley but as you can see it stuck to the mountain top. For those of you keeping score at home, that's Roan Mountain off in the distance.

Purty.

That building in the foreground is pretty cool. Is that where you live?

Oh gosh no Suzy, that's a million dollar home on the lake. We can't afford one of those right now.

Crayons said...

That's beautiful! They don't make scenes like that here in America's Dairyland.

I was traveling over Sam's Gap Sunday afternoon and it got a little crazy around the TN/NC border. This photo is outstanding, Dr Monkey.

I lived in Knoxville Tenn. a couple of times in my life. We used to drive up into the smokies on weekends. Tennessee has some of nature's prettiest places.

In fact we are thinking about going up to Knoxville and looking for property. All my memories of that town are fond ones.

Looking at your photo took my mind in an odd direction. Maybe it's the beautiful mountains.

Ah... we have views like this too, though our mountains are much shorter here; I think the highest is just over a thousand feet.

Suzy said...

I have to contradict Crayons: We do to have mountains in America's Dairyland. They're just laying on their sides.

Nice view you've got there. That's one thing I miss in the midwest - actual mountains.

Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein said...

Crayons-I spent my youth in the flat midwest or Michigan.

Sujaco-Thanks! I'm glad you like the photo. It's hairy for me even when it's dry on Sam's Gap, I have a little fear of heights.

Dguzman-It's not the size that counts.

Suzy-No contradictions allowed! :)

Ed-Yeah, it's a cool view. If I didn't have a fear of heights I would have driven up there and shot some photos.

Oh wow the view is so beautiful! I'm jealous! Out here in the midwest all we have is flat fields as far as the eye can see in the winter and corn in the summer.

Those mountains are amazing!
