  • Looking Glass Falls

    Looking Glass Falls

    Looking Glass Falls at sunset. One of my favorite moments from 2016 while exploring NC. Just before sunset, the thick clouds parted and direct sun hit the mist, making the rainbow visible. After a few minutes it was gone, and the sun fell below the horizon. Part of the Pisgah National forest.

  • Moore's Knob Above the Clouds

    Moore's Knob Above the Clouds

    Winter wonderland and Moore's Knob above the fog, captured December in Danbury at Singletree Gun & Plough. The sky was overcast all day up until this image, but eventually the sun started to peek through the clouds, and the snow in the valley started melting which created a beautiful fog. The fog and clouds drifted against Moore's Knob and created an amazing visual.

    An epic sunset at Hanging Rock, NC, from mid April 2016. For a couple of minutes the orange/pink colors became so bright that the cliffs and hills changed to warmer colors.
