Mountain Sunset

Taking a few minutes before my “Days End”. The colors are much cooler showing why these are known as the lower Blue Ridge Mountains. The foggy mist is why these particular mountains became known as the Smokys.

So often in making sunset/sunrise shots photographers shoot one or two shots and move on. This time of day is one of rapidly changing tones. Some of the most dramatic shots can be made after most have left or got there. When the clouds are illuminated by the sun after/before it has pasted the horizon. Those photographers willing to slow down an spend some time will be the ones fully enjoying this time of day when the warm/cool colors met, mingle, and drift apart. As you can see between the 2 shots 2 minutes make a dramatic difference.

Wow Gary! I am so glad you stopped and slowed down. This is beyond an amazing sunset. The layers of the mountains are so beautiful. This is one of the most beautiful images of a sunset I have ever seen. Someday when I can I will have to get this shot. At the very least as a card!
