A Gated View
A Gated View Photo Copyright © 2006 G. Kiser
June 15, 2006 marked the day where I was finally able to capture this particular fence and gate along the Blue Ridge Parkway. For several times, the lighting had not been right, or the grass not the right color. It was on this summer day as I drove by, everything seemed to work together to provide the picture that I had wanted. As an added benefit, the lighting was working in such a way that the clouds had a slight pink coloring to them...odd for this time of day, but a welcome addition nonetheless.
The element that had been drawing me to this scene for the longest time was that rusty red gate. Red is a very powerful color in photography and works very well alongside green and blue. The colors were perfect for a photograph, and the lines of the fence which led to the gate were a nice touch as well. Everything worked in this scene just the way I had envisioned it all the previous times passing it.
The best part about this picture is that it shows that the beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway is not restricted to the overlooks. The Parkway has it's own character and there are so many things to see while you are driving down the road. This is why it is called "America's favorite drive."
