Photography: A Fall Afternoon

I recently enjoyed an afternoon photo shoot along the Blueridge Parkway. It was late afternoon, so the sun was low in the sky. The changing leaves and colors of the mountains along the horizon created a nice backdrop for my photographic compositions.


See more photos on my Picasa Web Gallery here.

Note: Over the past 2 summers, art teachers have been asked by our lead teacher to design and send in postcards for a teacher exhibit at Central Office. This year, instead of ending the mail art at the end of the summer, I suggested we have, and then organzied, an exchange for the school year. We currently have 14 Art Teachers in the group.
