Hay shocks stand in neat rows on a rolling hillside here, the fence of split rails running along the field's edge. Skyline Drive, the scenic road that follows the crest of the Blue Ridge in Virginia, was built in the 1930s and passed through a landscape where farming families had worked the slopes for generations before the park was assembled. Pictures like this one capture the working pastoral side of that countryside, when hay was cut and stacked by hand before the land was absorbed into Shenandoah National Park. Split-rail fencing, common across Appalachian farms, marks the boundary between cultivated ground and the wider mountains.
