This camera looks out from Bent Mountain above Shawsville in Roanoke County, Virginia, at roughly 830 metres. It is a useful way to check the mountain sky and cloud cover before heading into the Roanoke Valley or the Blue Ridge foothills.
About the Place
Shawsville is a small community in Montgomery County, set in the valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny ranges of southwestern Virginia. Bent Mountain rises above the Roanoke area and is known for its wooded slopes, rural roads and wide views over the valleys. The region has a long farming and railway history, and the landscape is shaped by ridges that often hold weather differently from the valley floor.
What the Camera Shows
The title places the camera on a mountain, so the view is likely to be dominated by sky, ridgelines and tree cover rather than town streets. Depending on the view, you may see changing light across the valley, fog settling in low areas, or storm fronts building over the hills. Mornings with clear air often give the most distant visibility, while late afternoon in summer frequently brings cloud and thunderstorms.
Climate and Getting Around
Southwestern Virginia has warm, humid summers and mild winters, with snow more likely at higher elevations than in the valley. Spring and autumn are generally the most pleasant times to visit the surrounding mountains. Roanoke, about 21 km away, is the largest nearby city and has services and the nearest airport. Other cameras in the region include Radford at the university, about 38 km off, and the Blue Ridge Music Center near Galax.
