Skywatch and Friday's Fences

Hubby and I have been checking out the fall foliage along the interstate. Gotta love that evening light glowing on the rock face.
When I opened this on my computer it reminded me of a watercolor painting.
The West Virginia hills alive with color.
Behind the sign and beyond the fence the color was gorgeous! Look closely. Do you spot that funny looking tall object protruding above the treetops on the far left. It's a cell tower pretending to be a tree.
Here's hoping there are glorious days ahead for all of you.

    Hi
    I am home after many klms!
    Great time at all places.
    Your photos of the "FALL" are very spectacular. Certainly this area is not habitated by humans - looks very virgin countryside to me.
    The flight back to BNE from Newcastle flew the whole trip over similar uninhabitated country, not one town was seen from the air until about 190 klms south of BNE.
    All I could think about was the summer prospect of bushfires - is this area bushfire material???
    Are there access roads for the firefighters just in case?
    Today here due to the present high temperatures, the whole Pacific coastline is on "fire alert". Rain is again needed to wet the undergrowth.
    Cheers

    Lovely photos Carletta! Love the fall colors and the one with the West Virginia sign took my interest today. Nice to get out for a ride with hubby. I went with mine on a mini road trip to Baltimore yesterday, to meet up with his brother and our niece who were in town for one night. Looking at all the changing colors on the way was a real treat.

    Okay, you made me look for the skies and the fences. Pretty neat the way they're tucked away.
    What really gets me is the Governor's name on the highway sign!That's really going some when he charges taxpayers to put his name up.

    Carletta, love Autumn colors in WVA. I like what they are doing with the cell towers, I see one near my house and it looks much nicer than the usual all metal kind. Great shots, happy skywatching!

    Carletta...I know you are going to giggle. I have never seen the West Virginia state sign on our way over there,and you know we are always finding a reason to visit your state. Nice sign. Will have to look for it next time. I am always amazed at the rock formations alongside the interstates. The section your photographed is really quite pretty. Hope you have a nice weekend. It is almost here....goodie, goodie. genie

    Wow, the colors! I love the light in the last picture. Beautiful. We've got those sneaky cell towers in Colorado too. There's also one shaped like a buffalo.

    The colors are very pretty, looks like it will last longer.

    You have a good eye, on the "pretend tree".

    Our colors are almost gone now, with the recent snow.

    The only thing better than fall color is fall color on the rolling hills! Really pretty scenes that you captured.

    I know I've been here before, but I didn't have time before to look for the cell tower. Good camouflage. I kind of hate to see those towers sticking up everywhere, and yet at the same time I can't live without my phone (and hate when I don't get good reception).
