A photo story

Black Mountain, Kentucky

Laura walking a foggy summit road on Black Mountain, the high point of Kentucky, in May 2025. It was a cool, socked-in evening, around 56, under a full cloud deck. Rain had fallen during the day, but it had stopped by the time I took this.

Black Mountain is the high point of the state, and the road runs close to the top. The fog was thick enough that the trees faded out behind her, and that was the photo.
