Forest of Cloud
For the second day in a row I went out looking for sunrise. Morning rays rolling across my mountain home, shining its rays into the peaks and valleys. I got very lucky this morning, a rare summer thermal inversion was taking place, and I was racing to the a scene I have shot twice before. Looking Glass Rock, not from the common overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway, but form bellow, getting myself in line with the top of the mound. While I have a few shots of the stone faces of Looking Glass Rock standing firm within a sea of cloud, this particular valley had caught my eye early on in the shoot. This simple valley where the mist had pooled. As the morning wore on, eventually I realized this was going to be a magical shot, the morning rays burning off the top lays of mist revealing a treasure bellow, tree tops within a cloud forest. Sometimes it pays to keep your eyes open, and find compositions as they develop.
