While travelling in Virginia in October, I took a side trip west of Charlottesville, to check out the scenery and autumn foliage. Here are some images.

1. View overlooking the valley, east of the Blue Ridge, looking south. The photo was taken from one of the scenic turn-offs on Interstate 64, near the top of the Blue Ridge at Rockfish Gap, on the east side of the mountain.
2. Looking north toward #6, from the east end of Roberts Mountain Road.
3. View from the west of the Blue Ridge, looking north. The photo was taken while stopped on the side of the highway, as heavy traffic raced by me. The colors and light explain why, of course. The valley in the distance on the left is the Shenandoah Valley.
4. Down at the end of a little-used lane with the apt name of Segue, in the shade of Roberts Mountain, a runnel works its way down the slope, amid the leaves which carpet the forest floor.
