Shenendoa


The national park Shenendoa in the appalachians...What can we say... it was beatiful. We spend most of the day driving through on the Sky Line road stopping for the spectacular views over the mountains. We also parked the car and went on a hike in the forest. At one point we were looking into the trees in a place with a light-green, soft and even undergrowth of some sort of grass or flower. It looked almost fairytale-like. Then a huge hawk, that we had been staring right at but not noticed took of from a branch maybe 5 m from where we stood. At the end of our walk we came upon a clearing filled with flowers and millions and millions of butterflies of all colors and sizes. Pictures couldn't capture it, but here's one anyway.

The whole day was just amazing. Im just going to put up a bunch of pictures!

Pitorask.jpg er et ret lækkert billede. Hvis I vil have lidt mere held til at fange den slags med et kamera, så vil jeg godt anbefale autostiching software så som http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/, så man kan lave fine panoramaer.

tak :) jeg kender vist godt metoden, men vi har ikke haft den store tid til billedhåndtering... vi kæmper for at finde tid til overhovedet at opdatere bloggen! Specielt her i bibelbæltet, hvor internet er hard to come by...
