Crystal Springs Panorama I

Panoramic photograph of Crystal Springs near Wytheville, VADuring my recent business trip to Wytheville, VA I had some time to fill after work.  One evening I rode my bike to Crystal Springs.  I took 10 photos and stitched them together for this panoramic view of the springs.  Click on the image to see a larger image of it.

Mountain Stream

During our ride down the Creeper Trail from Whitetop to Damascus, we stopped at this mountain stream for a quick break.  I stitched together several photos to create this panoramic view of the stream and its flowing water.  Click on the photo for a larger view of it.

James River July Morning

During a morning walk along the James River it amazed me how much the river has changed since the spring.  The water is lower and there’s a lot of aquatic vegetation that wasn’t there just a few months ago.

Stopping At The Lakeside

We took a quick break from hiking to get a better view of the lake and noticed this little patch of sunlight right in front of us.  The mid-day sun didn’t offer any photo-worthy views of the entire lake but this contrast in lighting interested me.

Cypress trees creep out into the water.  The early morning sun begins to warm their trunks and nourish their leaves as a new day begins.
