Lake Lure In Rutherford County, North Carolina
Lake Lure In Rutherford County, North Carolina
This top of the line Equestrian Center is a little over a year old. It is already housing big competitors and is sponsored by Rolex. Right now it is free during competition season, but it probably won't be for long.

This is what many of the exit ramps look like in North Carolina. This particular shot was taken on the Union Road Exit ramp from Highway 74 in Rutherford County North Carolina. The NCDOT plants flowers on many of the highway ramps and late in the season you get scenes like this. I couldn't help but pull-over and take this shot after the sun and everything lined up just perfect. North Carolina really is a beautiful place to live! #Nature
