Fall colors

Fall here in Virginia was exceptional. On a scale of 1 to 10 I think it would have to rate at least a 9.5! So I thought that I should share some photos taken the end of October. I drove my 8N over to the top of a hill where the view is the best.



Here it is with the mountains of The Shenandoah National Park in the far background. It is a 1947,SN 8N11840, which I bought to “steal”parts off for my Uncle’s 8N75381. I was then going to sell it BUT.... I got SouNdguy’s syndrome! :-)



As near as I can tell from the topographic USGS maps, this hill is about 60 feet high. and drops that much in about 350 feet. I stopped a little past half way down so you can see how steep the hill is.



This shows the slope! Here the bottom of the rear wheels are at the same level as the axle of the fronts. I couldn’t get stopped higher up where the slope was even greater! I had a level with me to set up my tripod so I could take a good 360° set of photos. So, I used the level to set the tripod’s legs level so I could show where a level line would be in the photo.



This is called “The Peak” and is the most prominent Mountain to the east of me. It is a little over 4 miles away and rises to 2925 feet above sea level. To the right of it is North Marshal some 6 miles away and 3368 feet above sea level. Small by the Rockies standards, but the Appalachians are supposedly the oldest mountains in the world.



This is Fogg Mountain. It just makes it to the 1200 foot level plus a few feet. My farm is west of Fogg Mountain, but runs up the west side to about the 800 foot level in one place. The picture was taken on a hill that is about 660 feet above sea level. This is on a smaller parcel that I own that is across the road from most of my farm. At the right edge of the pasture across the road (below the rim of the hill hidden by the trees) is a road (right-of-way - better seen in the large view) that runs straight through the woods and along the east edge of my property after it gets into the woods Until it reaches the highest point along the boundary where it turns to go the top of the mountain. The pasture is a neighbors.

The images posted are reduced to load faster. If you click on one, it will load the larger version which is about 10 times larger so you can see the detail much better.

‘Njoy,
Larry
