Pretty North Carolina !!!

Even after all I had heard about the pristine beauty of NC and the Triangle area, seeing it for myself never ceases to amaze and astound me.  Of course this is nothing compared to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Carolina beaches, both within reach of Chapel Hill.

Photo feature: the four seasons of Chapel Hill

Go: Fall | Winter | Spring | Summer

Kingswood apartments after the record snowfall of Jan'00...


Trees and hill slope behind our apartment, laden with snow


Look, its that thick! View of my jeans leg, the part below the knee lodged in snow. The snowfall was 16 inches in Chapel Hill, 20 at RDU airport.

Here are a few of my other favorite snow pages:


 

Spring

Tarheels getting some sun
UNC spring weather feels weird - its sunny without being hot. UNC lawns look pretty much like this in Spring. This is one of the less sunny days. (photo credits: Daily Tar Heel)

Morehead
Morehead Planetarium on Franklin Street, a Chapel Hill landmark and tourist attraction.

Summer... no photos of NC since I was here, but you haven't missed much!
