Afton Mountain Overlook
Route 250
Near The Nelson/Augusta/Albemarle County Line
We’ve got a saying. “Even the drive to the dump is beautiful in Nelson!” And that’s the absolute truth. Thanks to Joy Rayman for these beautiful photos of the clouds down below as seen from the 250 overlook heading up Afton Mountain.
Incidentally, Joy was one of the first people we covered back in the inaugural issue in 2005. She was, and still is, part of a belly dancing group.
There’s Joy in the upper right photo in our very first issue back on April 1, 2005. How can that much time have passed already? Click to enlarge and read that story.
Joy took these photos looking down into the Rockfish Valley of Nelson on Sunday morning, February 26, 2023.It’s not a totally rare occurrence to see this here in the Blue Ridge, but it doesn’t happen everyday either. Sunday – February 26, 2023
Looking down as the clouds hug the mountains at the Afton Overlook along Route 250 heading up the mountain. Sunday – February 26, 2023
What beautiful and peaceful photos Joy! Thank you and thanks for making us take a look back at that very first issue!
