Looking for Beautiful Photography? Read More

Back in the summer of 2005, I was the owner, instigator and moderator of the Lynchburg Freecycle list. It was a lot of fun and I met some lovely people. One person on my Freecycle list had started a blog dedicated to Lynchburg and the surrounding areas. He invited me to join his writing team and so I did. It was a blast and the Lynchburg, VA blog rose high in the ranks. We had a huge following and got lots of comments and had lots of fun. I decided I wanted to start my own blog and the other writers turned to other interests, but I the Lynchburg, VA blog still gets a lot of hits even though it is mostly inactive these days.

Anyway, Bob, the fellow who had the vision for the Lynchburg blog discovered he had a truly amazing talent. The man takes awesome photos. And I do mean awesome! I knew that over the past 18 months, Bob's photos have won awards and contests. He is a favorite over at flickr. He has had photos in Lynchburg Life Magazine and photos that were exhibited in the Musée de l'Elysée, Lausanne in Switzerland,(a museum for photography).

What I didn't know was that Bob has put together a book title Blue Ridge Parkway and Beyond that is chock full of his amazing photos. If you or someone you know enjoys beautiful photography and/or pictures from the Blue Ridge, this book would make an awesome gift! Bob is an interesting man who has experienced a lot of interesting adventures during his lifetime. I am pleased to have been around at the beginning of this latest adventure! Way to go, Bob!
