Autumn Reflected
Yesterday was a beautifully calm day along the Linville River. The touch of fog only served to intensify the colors of autumn. This was among the last shots of my two weeks in the mountains of North Carolina... if I had waited until today to shoot this and other colorful images there, it would have been too late. That area has seen some really rough weather over the last 24 hours, including tornado warnings. With gusts up to 70 miles per hour in this very spot, all these brilliant leaves have likely been stripped. I’m happy to have walked away with this image that reminds me so much of a Tiffany lamp, but I’m not so happy for the ones who live and make their living in places along the affected area, like Newland, Sugar Mountain, Linville, and the community of Linville Falls, among others. Please keep these folks in your thoughts and prayers, as flooding is imminent there.
