The New River Gorge Bridge is the world's third-longest steel arch bridge. Every autumn, crazy people from all over the world come to Bridge Day so they can base jump off the bridge. This is pretty much the iconic shot of West Virginia, a place I have visited many times in my life. This is also the image that appears on the back of the WV state coin.

It was a hot, humid late summer day, but the leaves were already starting to show signs of autumn's approach. I was glad for the little hints of color in the foliage. :)

Wow, this is an amazing capture. :o
I love the rich colours that can be found throughout this entire shot, whether in the lush green (with a tinge of orange and yellow) of the foliage, or the bright blue skies and white clouds. The composition is absolutely perfect, and the lake is a very nice touch. We hardly ever get such bright blue skies and such pure white cotton-candy-like clouds here-- just a bunch of miserable grey clumps of goodness-knows-what floating about in the sky. This capture has a very lively and rich feel to it. Excellent job! :)

Thank you so much, Veinne! That has been the norm lately, those big puffy clouds. I love that about autumn. :)
