Mabry Mill in Virginia, is probably the most photographed spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and every time I drive by, I stop and shoot it just the same.

A few weeks ago I was up in Virginia shooting a commercial photography job, so on the way back to Greensboro we drove down part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a foggy day and we passed Mabry Mill, an iconic spot on the Parkway and on of the most photographed spots in America; a virtual photographic cliche. So did I stop and shoot. You betcha. I was there, and it is undoubtedly a beautiful place. Above is the mill and below a detail from one of the buildings.
