Ray of Hope

Like a beacon from Heaven offering hope and guidance to travelers, this single ray of light piercing through ominous storm clouds over the mountains in Western North Carolina was quite the sight to see.

 

Driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, the skies grew darker and I feared I would soon be engulfed with fog and rain clouds.

 

Then suddenly, a miraculous ray of hope in the distance as I spotted a break in the clouds through which this single beam shone down.

 

I followed it as it travelled along the ridges, fading in and out.

 

As I parked at the Cowee Mountains Overlook I surely thought this magical moment would cease. But to my relief, it lingered on long enough for me to capture this image.

 

This is one of the reasons I love traveling in the Blue Ridge Mountains during stormy weather as you never know what is in store. For me, that is true excitement as a photographer.

 

Thank you for stopping by to look, and may the light be ever in your favor!
