A large truck appears to be driving through the intersection. There is a wooden fence next to the truck, to the left of the image, and trees appear in the background away from the road. Image taken at milepost 165.1 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, near the intersection of the parkway with VA Route 8. The area is near Tuggle Gap in Floyd County, Va. |
