A pine standing alone on an autumn ridgeline gives this view its focal point, with the forested slopes falling away behind it. The Blue Ridge Parkway, which runs along the crest of the Appalachians through Virginia and North Carolina, was built in the 1930s as a scenic route, and its design favored long vistas like this one, where the road's engineers worked to frame the mountains rather than cut through them. Fall color on the Blue Ridge draws visitors every year, and scenes like this one capture why the parkway was planned as a drive meant to be seen slowly.
