Patricia Temples Light in the Blue Ridge Tunnel Photography 18 x 24 $300

Nelson and Augusta Counties, Virginia Under the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive

"A trip through this historic railroad tunnel is exciting and a bit claustrophobic. It is totally dark in the tunnel, so to travel from one end to the other and back again requires a flashlight and/or a headlamp. It is a constant 50 degrees inside the tunnel and there is water dripping from the rocks on either side. As my companion and I approached the far end of the tunnel light began to flow in through the archway, and condensation from the water drops created a foggy condition. I asked this couple who had just passed us if they would pose for a photograph, and they gladly complied. I thought it conveyed Into the Light perfectly."
