Blueness of the Ridges
The blueness of the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina is accentuated by the striking formation of the clouds.
The Blue Ridge Mountains are noted for having a bluish color when seen from a distance. Trees put the “blue” in Blue Ridge, from the isoprene released into the atmosphere, thereby contributing to the characteristic haze on the mountains and their distinctive color.
