Landscape There be Monsters

Finally got outside for a bit and took a short (too short) trip in our RV. This photo was taken in the Pisgah National Forest near the Blueridge Parkway. The trunks of the Rhododendron's are always fascinating.

Like tentacles seeking to capture the unwary! Cool photo, Susan.

Not many of us around that remember "The Night of the Triffids"

Wish I had your woodlands. We have too much Turkey Oak and scrub pine.

Beautiful. The high key like background gives it a soft, misty glow that make the curvy trunks really stand out. And I thought the Rhododendrons grew big here in Oregon.

This area of the Smoky Mtns. is known for their Rhodos. The trails are often covered with them in places. I love their twisty bits.

A fantasy world shot almost. There's monsters lurking everywhere...

That's why I try and stay out of the woods.

Rather a frightening shot. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely! I saw rain and mist when I went to the Blueridge Parkway many years ago. I love misty scenes like this. The rhododendrons remind me of the native rhododendrons in New Zealand.
