I've visited Saluda, NC

I promised you two days ago to show you more photos from our journey to North Carolina. Driving from Asheville NC, take this exit 59....


...and after some minutes nice mountain driving you'll see this picturesque little town: Saluda. It is like cut out of a picture book, so neat and clean, with good restaurants and a lot of nice shops in the main street - you cannot miss it, it's so small. :-)

This is the view to the main street from the other side of the railroad crossing, only some houses, that's all.


Shady trees in the main street, with inviting shops everywhere


This is the window of the City Hall. It's like the time stopped and never came back. Do you see that great old type writer in the window?


As you know already, I like to photograph details, and flowers - like this scene here.....


...or this one! I love the wooden bench too.


Flowers are everywhere in this pretty little town!



Tomorrow I'll show you a series of photographs I made about something very special I have seen in Saluda. And I met a very nice person there too. Stay tuned for tomorrows post!


Below you can read what the Internet has to say about Saluda.
