Black Mountain, North Carolina

During one of mine and my husbands visits to Black Mountain, we were walking our dog and looked up to see this beautiful sky. Yes, it is over casted and yes, we did have my camera with us. You never know when you will want to take a picture. I mean come on, I take pictures of tree stumps.

Now, I know what you are thinking-why would we call this picture Stairway to Heaven? Well, the cloud formation in the middle of the picture looks just like it is connecting the Earth Plain to the Heaven Plain which would be the obvious explanation. The whole truth is; when we are in that area that is the exactly how both of our energies feel. When you hear the word Heaven in general, you automatically get this ethereal feeling, a peacefulness and calmness comes over you (usually). For us in Black Mountain, we keep that feeling until the day we leave.

Montreat, North Carolina is a special mountain cove nestled at the foot of Graybeard Mountain near the Tennessee Valley Divide. Located at the eastern end of Buncombe County and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains.

It is part of the Asheville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town is best known for its Presbyterian retreat center, Montreat College, and for being the home of evangelist Billy Graham and his late wife Ruth Bell Graham.

The day I took this picture, my husband and I went exploring and came across this tiny town. Well, we turned and seen this area away from everything-so we went exploring some more. I was standing on a little wooden bridge when I took this picture. Again, it was over casted with a light rain, but that was okay, it was wonderful because I love the way the woods smell when it rains.

It ended up raining that whole weekend, but I still got some good pictures.
