Images of the Blue Ridge Parkway

In Images of the Blue Ridge Parkway, nature photographer George Humphries shares his passion for the hills in which he was raised by opening a door to the unforgettable beauty through which this venerable route meanders. Shepherding readers through six mountain ranges, this photographic tour captures the gently winding road’s spectacular mountain scenery — distant vistas, pastoral landscapes, and summit sanctuaries all punctuated with rare evergreen, wildflowers, and wildlife. Humphries employs his camera lens to explore the moods and majesty of Southern Appalachia and humankind’s quest to unravel the timeless secrets kept by these blue ridges. With arresting images that evoke the drama, enchantment, and unpredictability of the Southern Highlands, an odyssey emerges — revealing festivals of color, cascades of waters, and realms of diversity found only beyond the pavement of these modest two lanes.Humphries, George Kelly is the author of 'Images of the Blue Ridge Parkway' with ISBN 9780972339674 and ISBN 0972339671.
