I did get out and get some good shots of the area. So all was not lost and I did find some neat places that I will head back too in the near future.
I posted a picture of Asheville on Megashot and Flickr this weekend that I like a whole bunch. I think I am going to enter it into a photo contest the "Our State" magazine is having. The magazine is about North Carolina and is actually a pretty good magazine. It will give some great ideas of places to go and see on future roadtrips. Anyhow I think the picture is pretty darn good and may win. However it is not "pretty" in the standard sense and that may hurt it.
These are two pottery kilns in Seagrove, NC. There are kilns all over the place and most are full and getting to be opened to show hidden treasures. Some of the potters actually make these big events. Kind of cool.
