Lights of Home
(Night on the Parkway)

shown framed 20x24

 

 

 

 

Everyone who photographs Eugene Figg's masterpiece of a bridge on Grandfather Mountain, the Linn Cove Viaduct, shoots it from the same perfect vantage – but usually not in the middle of the night. There's not a lot of traffic on the Blue Ridge Parkway that time of "day," so my wife drove our Subaru back and forth a few times to trace the bridge's graceful arc. The stars above are real; but the skyscape was shot and added separately. The lights spread out across the county are actually more stars I mapped into the picture to masquerade as city lights below.
