Photo Wednesday: Views of a View

Distance lends enchantment to the view.
- Mark Twain

 

More often than not, what happens during a trip makes the destination much more memorable.  Pictures are a great way to reminisce those experiences and certainly there would be different views of the "view" when shared with others. For the outsider, a picture could be insignificant. For the traveler, it could mean so much more. The distance that he had to cover are partly the reasons why a particluar place holds a special place in his heart.

This photo was taken after climbing a steep cliff at the side of the road after a wine tasting spree at two wineries (read entry, here.) in the Virginia area. The wine-tasting spree wouldn't have been as memorable if we didn't climb that cliff, considering that one of us was terrified of heights. The one who had a problem with heights would certainly have a different view, don't you think? Read more about our road trip along the Blueridge Parkway, here.
