In the Wake of Tornado Warnings

There were Tornado warnings all day yesterday. The weather fronts had just moved through Amherst County Virginia - Just North of Lynchburg on Route 29. The sky was still dark to the east and the sun was a brilliant light to the west. As the last rain passed over the road.... There was a magnificent rainbow.

Spring Moon over Lynchburg

Traveling north onto the James River Bridge from Lynchburg, I spotted the moon to the west. The storms from yesterday cleared the air and the sky was crystal clear. I paused on the bridge to take a picture of the moon. When I downloaded it into my computer  I found a pleasant surprise. The clouds must have shaped the moon to look like a heart. What does it mean?

Peaks of Otter - Sharp Top Mountain - November 2010


Bedford County, Virginia - 30 Minutes west of Lynchburg - Peaks of Otter rise to majestic levels. Sharp Top Mountain has an easy access estimated 1/12 hour hiking trail to the top. This is a series of photos that take you to the top and back down to the lodge below. The hike is worth the effort. Views are spectacular. The peak has a look out, apparently constructed with Mountain stones.There is a Stone Cottage at the top made from stone and mortar. Find more local area blog photos at www.iLynchburg.com

Gotta love Lovingston Virginia in the Fall

Midway between  Charlottesville and Lynchburg
is a brilliant Fall Foliage treat. The bright yellows
are distinctive. This was taken from the McDonald's 
parking lot just before sunset on October 30th 2010. 
I'd say this is peak.... Dollar menu dinner with a 
million dollar view - Loving it in Lovingston VA
