The Fall Colors of Domaining
Last week was long and busy and in more than one sense, counter-productive. Domaining is not a science and yet, it appears to require more energy than being creative and artistic.
What a better way to flush out all negativity and non-constructive thinking than take a mini vacation to Asheville, North Carolina.
Flying to Greenville, South Carolina was a smooth sixty minutes, then driving up to Asheville for another hour through the rising elevation of the Carolina mountains.
The brown colors of the trees blended beautifully into the yellow, orange and red of the leaves, creating a powerful palette that sends waves into the mind. The temperature, ranging from the low 50′s to the upper 60′s was perfect for walking on trails with nature’s sounds prominent; birds, furry animals and waterfalls; the air cool and fresh felt like 100% pure oxygen.
What a miracle: the eyes, the mind, the soul – refreshed all in one go.
Nothing there existed to remind me of domains or web development, nothing related to the mechanical chains that sap away so much energy on a daily basis. Just my camera to capture the moment that I will then share with friends and loved ones, to remind myself that life is short and nature’s art goes a long way.
But if you still want to see a domainer’s post, visit Biltmore.com to view the largest home in America, a tour that requires at least 3 hours to complete, visit the humane, never-sleeping city of Asheville and drown yourself into the natural palette of North Carolina’s fall.

Diana and I were in Asheville last summer and it is just as you described – almost indescribable
Visited the Biltmore too – quite amazing. Lovely part of the country that I began missing as soon as we left it!

Hi Ron – I’m glad you had a wonderful time there. Florida needs some mountains and I begin to think that the folks from the Carolinas are equally blessed – if not more – than Floridians
