7/16/06 - Mountain Meadow

From Skyline Drive overlooking the Shenandoah valley. Circular polarizers are sure helpful with a scene and sky like this one. This was an attempt to demonstrate (to myself) that decent images can be made at midday in the bright sun - just have to make sure that there are no contrasty shadows to be seen.
Probably about 2/3 mile in elevation above the valley. You can just make out the Shenadoah river in the notch between the nearest trees at the center of the image.

Nikon D70
1/80s f/22.0 at 18.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Love it. God bless the Blue Ridge. Man Circular Polarizers are so important to get a blue sky here on the east coast. Those west coasters just don't know how easy they have it.
