Virginia Living

The Blue Ridge mountains at dusk.
Living in Virginia is wonderful for all the beauty one finds here.  And nowhere is more beautiful than the Blue Ridge country of the western part of the state.  Though much lower than the majestic peaks of the west, the Blue Ridge mountains nonetheless bear their own form of beauty and ruggedness.

Layers of mountains cascade into the distance.
One finds here other attractions, such as the many waterfalls that are found along the Skyline Drive, which traverses the length of the Blue Ridge mountains and offers spectacular views of its scenery.

One of many charming waterfalls along the Skyline Drive.
The Shenandoah Valley, which lies between ranges of the Blue Ridge mountains, is a place of both beauty and agricultural productiveness.  This serene place is a highly sought-after place to live.

A lovely place to visit, I consider myself lucky to live so close to the Blue Ridge mountains and Shenandoah Valley, just a few miles away.
