I am a graduate student at the College of Design, and this semester my studio project must involve environmental, social, or tourism-related issues within North Carolina. I have decided to create a series of billboards and posters promoting the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation - an ad campaign, of sorts.

I will need a lot of reference material for this project, and while there is plenty of public domain stuff on the Internet, I thought I'd also solicit the good folks of T-Dub to see if anyone may be willing to share their personal photos.

In particular, I am looking for:

-photos of scenic views taken from or near the Parkway, especially if the photos include shots of hairpin turns or the Parkway itself
-photos of any sort of flora or fauna, especially wildflowers along the Parkway or leaves when they are changing in the fall
-action shots of people sightseeing, hiking, or otherwise enjoying activities related to the Parkway.

I will not be using the photos directly, just as references for illustrations. If you think you may be able to help, please let me know via reply or PM - and there's aways the option of just posting them in this thread for everyone to admire.

Thanks in advance.

I live like 15 min from the parkway in VA. I don't have any pictures though as I rarely have time to really enjoy the area where I live

T-Dub is cool, but you're going to have a much better time with Flickr and the like.
