Shadows and Smoke

 Dickey Ridge, Shenandoah National Park 

These views are from the visitor center at Dickey Ridge. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that view. It’s a short drive from Front Royal. At times, the 5-mike section of Skyline Drive from Front Royal to Dickey Ridge is the only part of the drive that’s open. It’s not as high in elevation as many parts of the drive, so it’s less likely to be covered with ice or impassable due to downed trees after a storm. 

I don’t know what that smoke was from. There may have been a controlled burn going on.
