Landscape Beauty at Lake Junaluska

The unincorporated Lake Junaluska community in North Carolina is centered around a beautiful 200-acre namesake lake and surrounded by 1,200 acres of rolling hills and valleys. The high peaks and stunning natural beauty of the area offers numerous photographic opportunities of landscapes.

This image has a foreground to frame the scene making it more interesting than the photo posted earlier this week.

Cloud Reflections at Lake Junaluska

Lake Junaluska is one of the crown jewels of North Carolina. Surrounded by jaw-dropping mountain views, wildlife, and of course, the lake, residents will never want to go inside! Here is an image of cloud reflections on the lake.

Rays of Light from the Clouds

While I have a serious medical issue and will be getting treatment at Duke Hospital, I am going to post my captured images as long as I can. I am pleased to do and hope you all enjoy the beauty of the photos. Being positive and happy as life goes on!

Sunrise from a Different Perspective

Unlike sunrise images from the beach, here are photos from the balcony of a rental property at Sunset Beach, North Carolina. The first image is early dawn as the sun is yet to rise and second one shows the sunrise behind the clouds.

Lake Lure from Chimney Rock

From approximately 4,000 feet above sea level, the views from Chimney Rock are spectacular. Even on a cloudy day, Lake Lure appears grand. One of the most beautiful man-made lakes in the country, Lake Lure is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Located about 27 miles from Asheville, Lake Lure sits in the Hickory Nut Gorge, surrounded by lush mountain tops and sheer granite cliffs.

Lake Jawai Panorama

Jawai Bandh was constructed in Rajasthan across the Jawai River, a tributary of the Luni River. Jawai got importance in 1946, when Umaid Singh started building a dam there. Prior to that, it was just an area with some granite hills and a river, uninteresting to tourists or the government. Now, it is a beautiful landscape.
