Default A weekend in the mountains with lots of pics

Went up to Cashiers, NC this weekend which is probably some of the best driving in the entire nation- it's all mountain roads. This is the first chance that I have had to really play with the car, and I had an absolute blast. I took a few pics that I wanted to share.

Due to some of the sunsets and stuff, if you don't have a high res monitor, the pictures might just look dark to you. If you've got a high res one, then I hope you like them


These were all shot about halfway up the mountain:

These were all shot later the same evening as the sun started to go down on top of the mountain:







And this is where my personal favorites begin. I know a lot of these shots look the same but I took several trying to capture the right elements and the sunset, so I'll post up a few. Sorry if many of them look like duplicates.
