Appalachian Sunset

Perspective

Camera pointed west from Range View Overlook on Mount Marshall. Range View Overlook is a scenic overlook along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.

 

Landscape

The layers of bands visible in the photo, from bottom to top, are as follows:

 

1. Black foreground with trees = Mount Marshall

2. Dark gray mountain ridge just beyond the foreground = Matthews Arm

3 & 4. Next two medium-gray ridges = Massanutten Mountain

5. Light gray layer just before the sky = North Mountain

6. Sky

 

Massanutten Mountain and North Mountain are ridges of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians. North Mountain is part of the Allegheny Mountains, and marks the border between Virginia and West Virginia.
