This is an evening version of “The Spine of the World”…As I gazed down at these mountains, near Thomas, WV, I was moved by a deep sense of peacefulness.  Snow had begun to fall and clouds gathered, but I sensed the timelessness of these worn peaks.  It didn’t matter whether there was snow or sun, these hills form the backbone of the area – they and their cousins elsewhere formed the spine of the world.
