Landform

The roof of West Virginia — wind-flagged red spruce, a mossed heath, and a dawn fog that waits for October color.

Field note

The moss walks under flagged spruce. Seneca Rocks is down-canyon; Dolly Sods is the next bald. This plate is Spruce Knob in Monongahela National Forest, not Seneca’s quartzite fin and not a Skyline Drive overlook.

Spruce Knob is the roof of West Virginia — flagged red spruce, a mossed heath, dawn fog and October color. This plate is Monongahela National Forest, not Seneca Rocks.
