Corn

IMG_1565.jpg

Corn: fall is harvest time, I am driving the grain cart see corner of it in picture hauling the harvested corn to the bin ( tall round metal thing holds 12,000 bushels of corn or 672,000 lb.) on the other side of old barn about 840 bushels at a time. Harvesting machine or combine is the dust cloud on right side of picture

FYI: about 2.8 gallons of ethanol is produced per bushel so 33,600 gallons from this one bin of corn I helped fill 3 bins this size enough enough ethanol can be made from these 3 bins of corn to make over 1 million gallons of e10.

Last Week on the Blue Ridge Parkway

I rode the Blue Ride Parkway and adjacent roads last week near Blowing Rock, NC. I was preparing to take a shot of the Lin Cove Viaduct from US221 when I heard the low, powerful note of a boxer. The 2-up grey, Erica-equipped RT rounded the turn before I could get the camera up so I managed to snap this shot before that disappeared. Too bad you can't see the MOA sticker on the top case.

Just off the parkway, I photographed the Linville River and the upper falls:
