I went out early in the morning looking for a cloud inversion once more. The weather patterns, temperatures, cloud floor all seemed to line up with the idea that one was going to hit the mountains. It didn’t work out this time, so I left the first location at Wayah Bald fire tower to begin searching for something different. Maybe a nice foggy patch of road or something interesting. A photo can leap out at you suddenly, and you need to keep your eyes open. Don’t give up just because your initial idea didn’t work out. Eventually I found my way into a part of the national forest that’s often ignored. That’s where this scene unfolded. Clouds hanging low from above, and a river of mist flowing in from the lake. I spent a bit of time composing with a shorter focal length first only to realize I needed to get much further into the scene.
