This gallery is easily the best Panoramio - and the world - has to offer.
First class photography capturing breathtaking scenery; what more can you ask?!
I've gone through it all - possibly 4 or 5 hours of viewing - and it was a singularly enjoyable experience. For which I'm grateful.
My Grandfather, Arthur Bell, ran Texas Machine Works on Ave. C in Beaumont from the late 1920's until the 1960's. He was a financially conservative German person and an excellent machinist. He won the contract in the 1930's to manufacture all of the nuts and bolts that were used to erect this bridge. Once the structure was completed with nuts and bolts, they then removed each one and replaced it with a rivet to produce the permanent structure. The government then wanted to get rid of these used nuts and bolts, but the deep recession of that time caused no one to bid for this scrap metal. Paw Paw got them back for the effort to remove them from the bridge site. He sold scrap iron for decades and this scrap iron served as a cushion for his business operations. TomB
If you are referring to the Episcopal Frescos, they are located in WEST Jefferson and Glendale Springs. Father Fulton Hodge was instrumental in their being in Ashe County.
This picture was taken from our front deck, which looks out over the Virginia and North Carolina Piedmont at a 1500 foot altitude differential (1200 vs 2700 feet).
Note that blimp is below the horizon which means that he is below the elevation of our home. This picture is one of the better of many pictures showing his tacking efforts to get above our ridge line. Only at the last half mile or so was he able to over come the ridgeline down draft and pass just above our Gazebo, which is another 30 feet higher than the house.
My grown Son asked at one point, when it appeared that he was going to hit our house, "Dad, do you have collision insurance on our house?"

I agree with DadPaul on location for the Music Center.
Your photo of this pass is the best, most descriptive that I've seen and better than any of mine.
Keep up the good postings!
