Monuments



I guess you probably already know that our mountains in Virginia are old. I mean, REALLY old, to the tune of millions and millions of years old. That's why I felt like I was walking back in time the minute I set foot on the Hightop Mountain Trail, which is part of the 2100+ mile Appalachian Trail . It's filled with--as I'm told Nathaniel Hawthorne once put it--"earth's undecaying monuments." 


Huge boulders stacked one on top of another suddenly made me feel very, VERY small and in awe of the unimaginably powerful forces that put them there.

  1. Por mucho que una persona ande, sería dificíl hacer tan largo recorrido. Me ha gustado mucho las fotos que has hecho de una pequeña parte del sendero.
    Que tengas una buena semana.
