This was my second time staying at The Restoration Hotel, back in 2023 I rated it a 5 Star. This year I noticed a big difference. This hotel has become a party hotel, the last night the music coming from the roof top was unbearable, staying on the 5th floor did not help. The room was vibrating from the music and the conversations were loud. Though the music was turned down at 10 PM so that helped a lot. The Draftsman Bar Lounge, one of my favorite places in Asheville was off limit due to private parties through out my stay, so that was strike two! The breakfast basket on day one was a winner, the following morning the breakfast basket had two very hard biscuits, so we opted to go out to breakfast. The staff continues to be amazing from the receptionist Mary Katherine to the valet Nick and other fellows that were friendly and professional.

This image I created on campus at Appalachian State University mainly because I liked the way the trees were uniformly spaced apart and obviously deliberately and decoratively planted that way by someone in a way that they thought would be the best choice to garden the campus. This image looks beyond the trees though and shows the town of Boone through scattered buildings of apartments, classes, and downtown, all falling between the trees and the mountain view. This image encapsulates Boone’s almost perfectly balanced ratio of humanity and nature, while the human elements in the image are prevalent through the buildings, they are still overpowered/being seen through nature, which is exactly how I view Boone. #appalachianechoes
