Today I drove to Luray by way of the "slow route" across Edinburg Gap and past Camp Roosevelt. It doesn't take much longer than going to New Market and crossing the Massanutten Range using Route 211. I couldn't resist stopping at the scenic overlook on top of the mountain.
Here you’re looking down on Page Valley and Luray with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance.
Once I got to Luray, I drove down to Ruffner Plaza to check out the murals. The
faded mural I photographed several years ago has been replaced by three different panels..
Dogwood is our state flower. The mural in the center shows an old-fashioned scene, perhaps in honor of the mural that was there before.
Nearby were some planters with flowers, including chrysanthemums and decorative cabbage.
There was also a display of painted rocks with a Halloween theme.
The sky is very moody
ReplyDeleteYes, there was rain in the distance.
DeleteBeautiful mural, love the one with the flowers. The rocks are cute and I wish I could have a decorative cabbage in my garden, it's so pretty. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Linda.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great view. I can see why you stopped. The dogwood is beautiful and the vintage mural is stunning. Like the cabbage. I had that once, too. Fun Halloween rocks, too.
ReplyDeleteI saw a woman on the street yesterday who looked like a decorative cabbage with her tricoloured hair.
ReplyDeleteLOL. That made me laugh.
Delete...I love the dogwood.
ReplyDeleteGreat vista...always my favorite to see, (anywhere) and worth the drive! Mural is very interesting, with the last panel reflective of looking through old photos.
ReplyDeleteAll three mural panels are beautiful, but the Dogwood is wonderful, it looks as beautiful as a real at its best (I love these trees, we have them here in Oregon but they are usually done flowering by the time we get back.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenes and the murals are very nice. I also think it's a great sign regarding the painted rocks. They are such cheerful little things to find.
ReplyDeletePretty views and mural. Love the flowers! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views from the high ground.
ReplyDeleteLuray seems to be beautiful calm city, the painted pebbles are extraordinary. The mums are my favorite. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
