New on 500px : Mabry Mill, Blue Ridge Parkway (Infrared) by KenLane by KenLane

Mabry Mill is a watermill located at milepost 176.2 of Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. It is a tourist attraction mainly for the picturesque views of the mill itself. A short trail around the mill connects historical exhibits about life in rural Virginia. The trail allows visitors to view the gristmill, sawmill, and blacksmith shop.

Mabry Mill was built by Edwin Boston Mabry (E.B. Mabry). E.B. Mabry returned to Floyd County in 1903 and began the construction of the mill. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then became a sawmill. By 1905 it was in operation as a gristmill. By 1910 the front part of the mill was completed and included a lathe for turning out wheel hubs, a tongue and groove lathe, a planer and a jig-saw. Between 1905 and 1914 E.B. Mabry bought adjacent tracts of land, mostly for the purpose of acquiring more water power. 1

During peak seasons, demonstrations of crafts are given by National Park Service volunteers at Mabry Mill.

New on 500px : Tasman Lake by TheWanderingSoul by TheWanderingSoul

Early in the morning I woke up at the parking lot below Mueller Lake (it was the second night sleeping there in my car). The day before I was taking photographs during sunrise and sunset at Mueller and Hooker Lake. That early morning, when I looked up to the sky I saw some flat clouds right of the Hooker Valley with already a very small red hue. Even it was my original plan to photograph that morning again at Mueller Lake I thought about better leaving and driving to the Tasman Lake. I had been there two weeks ago and I knew that it’s difficult to capture the beauty of the Tasman Lake very well but I’ve said to myself that I could never forgive myself if the colors of the clouds would increase later and I wouldn’t have a chance to capture it (the sky above the Hooker Lake was cloudless). Past a while I luckily made the decision to drive to Tasman Lake. Thank god. Because the saturation of the sky grew steadily I drove faster and faster – alone, along the small road, through the valley in the dawn against time with the red sky above the mountain range to my right. I felt some kind of adrenaline and I also felt like a rally driver, someone may forgive me for driving to fast but it felt so right that moment. I stopped hard at the Tasman Valley parking lot, jumped out of my car, grabbed my gear and started running up to the viewing platform. Not more than ridiculous 100 meters later I was totally breathless and feared to miss that sunrise but I continued walking. A little later I reached the highest point and started to capture the scenery. No one there except myself, coughing and puffing like an old man but feeling alive like never before. A cold wind blowing and that awesome sky above me, turning even the gray surface of the rocks and stone fields into reds. I was so pleased with. A wonderful moment.

Two days later I’ve left New Zealand, that was my farewell gift – thanks for it!

New on 500px : Mossy Grotto Falls by raygreenphotography by raygreenphotography

My good friends Jeremy, Beth and I decided to take our first trip to this beautiful waterfall gem yesterday. Our trek included a few slips, slides and falls but we still managed to make it all in one piece and we had a great time. The wind was a bit problematic but we were able to get some decent pics regardless…guess I better learn how to focus stack landscapes in order to try and up my game! Thank you to everyone for taking a moment to view my work and for your votes and any constructive comments!

Every time I come to a new place it’s the mountains that get me. You can’t look out at that and feel anything but small.

How grand that is.

My first time out for Rowena Crest overlooking the mighty Columbia River in Oregon. At 4:00 AM I had the extreme good fortune of seeing my new photog friend Bronwyn pull into the parking lot. My humble thanks go to her for sharing her secret locations and techniques for capturing this amazing scene!
