Nice shots Jung. Looks like you are having the same golden bias to the leaf colors we are seeing in the northeast. Has it been very dry down there?

Foliage is well saturated around Grandfather Mountain to Mt. Michell.(October 10-11)
including Grave Yard area.
But most low altitude area (as you see below - Lane Pinnacle Overlook, Milepost 372.1) is about to start.
Great Smoky Mountain State Park would be saturated well around October 17-19
Wester Blue Ridge from Ashville will be peak next week.(October 17-29)
Easter Blue Ridge from Ashville is already well saturated
Thanks to your comment.

#1 for me - nice layering. Looks like you have to go back in a couple weeks for peak color.

I like all the layers in that 1st image. The BRP is one of my favorite autumn locations. Thanks for sharing, Jung.

I love forested mountain, and Blue Ridge is surrounded in highly populated foliage tree.
Thanks to your sharing many lovely images from remote world

Thank you very much. A you said it is so, a week ago.
This area is high altitude, so the foliage is over saturated.
Thanks to your many great images to learn.

I tool a image from a spot
Clingman's Peak from Ridge Junction Overlook (Milepost 355.3 in Blue Ridge Parkway) in October 11, 2025
Nikon D850 and Zeiss Otus APO 55mm F1.4
Clingmans Peak (NC) is different from Clingmans Dome (TN-The great smoky mountain National Park)

After trip many times along the Blue Ridge Parkway, we found this:
Western Blue Ridge: lovely and smooth, and small scale mountains.
Eastern Blue Ridge from Ashville: tough and large scale mountains.

The first one really resonates with me Jung, nice! I like the layers and sense of depth. Definitely should go back in a few days during peak colors and I think that scene would really come alive especially during golden hour!

I think this coming weekend or next week would be the peak of season.
Thanks to your many wonderful images at FM that I like.

Mountain layering in #1 is perfect, beautiful photo! Last one is quite interesting with the lake in the center.
