Mountains Of North Carolina
2012 • Boone, NC, USA
The first time I'd ever been to the mountains was in Boone, NC. Summer of 2012. My first time with me and my sisters. I was a young teen then and recently moved to NC. We were born in Miami and just the view of nature from the top of the mountain was amazing and beautiful. It was a feeling like no other being closer to the sky and seeing the world under you while the sun sets in the distance.
