Eye-level aerials reveal the quiet power and layered beauty of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains

Asheville, NC - May 22, 2025 - A breathtaking new gallery of aerial photographs by renowned aerial photographer David Oppenheimer has officially launched, capturing the vivid tapestry of autumn colors across the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park along the North Carolina-Tennessee border. Shot during the October 2023 peak fall color season, the images offer a cinematic and crisply detailed portrayal of one of America's most iconic landscapes.
Oppenheimer, a veteran aerial photography historian, has spent over a decade capturing the Southern Appalachians from above, working out of piloted aircraft at low altitudes with professional camera equipment-out of an opened window or canopy. The resulting photographs are not only visually stunning but also historically and geographically precise. Each image is meticulously researched and plotted, providing accurate descriptions of the photographed landmarks, including named peaks, balds, ridgelines, towns, and forest regions.

"I have spent a lot of time in these mountains, and every aerial photography flight is exciting and never stops surprising me uncovering new areas in the backcountry and capturing new views of popular destinations on the Blue Ridge Parkway and region ," said Oppenheimer. "Safety and attention to details are paramount. The work is risky-but the reward is sharing these rare perspectives with the public."

The gallery includes sweeping views of famed locations such as:
Kuwohi (formally Clingmans Dome) and Mount Le Conte in the Great Smokies

Graveyard Fields, Black Balsam Knob, and Looking Glass Rock along the Blue Ridge Parkway

Panthertown Valley, Cold Mountain, and Pisgah National Forest

Vibrant townscapes and community landmarks in Brevard, Cashiers, Waynesville, and Hendersonville

With flight paths traversing diverse landscapes-ranging from the golf courses of Sapphire Valley to the deep wilderness of Shining Rock and Middle Prong-the collection paints a rich portrait of the Southern Appalachian region during one of its most photogenic seasons.

This release marks a significant contribution to the cultural and environmental documentation of the region, offering not only artistic beauty but a precise record of place names and ecological features. As with all of Oppenheimer's work, each image is accompanied by GPS and detailed descriptions, ensuring proper geographic attribution and reinforcing the photographer's commitment to documentary integrity.

The full collection is now available for licensing and viewing through Performance Impressions, with selected works available as limited edition fine art prints: https://www.performanceimpressions.com/travel-photography/aerial-photography-blue-ridge-parkway-the-great-smoky-mountains-national-park/
