Grandfather Mountain

Grandfather Mountain
August 20, 2017 by Matt Spangard

The famous Linn Cove Viaduct wraps around Grandfather Mountain. It was the last stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be completed in the 1980s and was an engineering marvel of its time. If you look closely at the ridge of Grandfather Mountain, you can see the suspension bridge that connects two of the peaks.

This image was captured while filming my entry for the 2017 Triple Aught Design Fall Film Festival. If you haven't watched and voted for my short film, I'd really appreciate it if you did! It takes five seconds and there's no registration required.

This photograph was captured with a DJI Mavic pro drone.

On the Prowl

Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina
June 20, 2016 by Matt Spangard

This cougar lives in a protected habitat on Grandfather Mountain. I knew they were big but I had no idea just how enormous they were until we saw one in person! They are sometimes called mountain lions and they definitely live up to the name!

This photograph was captured with a Sony NEX-7.

Spring Snack

Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina
May 23, 2016 by Matt Spangard

It's spring and that means the deer are coming out of the woodwork in North Carolina's High Country. I cheated on this photograph a bit, though... this deer is one of the captive deer in the Grandfather Mountain sanctuary. 

This photograph was captured with a Sony NEX-7 and edited in Adobe Lightroom.
