The Aerial Horizon

Descending into the depths of the stream, small islands protrude and the current flows around them carrying fragments of their spirits downstream…The “islands” bump up from the elevated landscape beneath as we descend along a ridge line of the Appalachians and turn to align our course with the Shenandoah Valley near Roanoke, Virginia. The ride is smooth here as we contemplate the landscape’s effect on the visible weather and we anticipate the rough ride below.
