Blue Ridge near Piscah, NC

Taken with Canon SL1 with 18-55mm IS STM

I like the first on although it is a little hazy. you might try the dehire filter in photoshop to remove some of it

a CPL (circular polarizing filter) is almost a necessity in the blue ridge, and would make this a much nicer shot.

where were you?

I never use any CPL or any filter.

That whole area is incredible . The blue haze gives the Blue Ridge mountains their name .

My question as well.

The area is just between Soco Gap and town Waynesville (NC).
About both East and west side Blue ridge 10 mile from
Waynesville is the most scenic foliage area among entire Blue Ridge,
I visit Blue Ridge 2-3 times a year, especially every Fall.
and even better than near Top of the Smokey Mountain area.

I go to this area fairly often myself. We usually rent one of the houses listed here: https://distinctivemtn​lodging.com/Lodging.ht​ml

In most cases it's about the same cost as a hotel except you have a whole house to yourself with spectacular views. How often do you get to stay in a $600,000 house perched on the side of a mountain looking into Hickory Nut Gorge?

This was the view we had off the back deck of the house. Chimney Rock is on the left.

It looks like it is taken from Lake Lure at night.
Not easy to take this type of great photography to amateur like me.
