LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS

The Blue Ridge Photography Project is a photographic tribute to the natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountain Range. This is a truly special part of America with sweeping mountain vistas, unique ancient rock formations, dense old forests, hundreds of magical waterfalls and the list goes on. It’s no coincidence that in this area lies the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway and a section of the Appalachian Trail. Scroll further down the page to see additional landscape photography from outside of the blue ridge area. My name is Clay Townsend and I truly appreciate you taking the time to view my work. All the photography in these galleries is available for print and commercial licensing.
