Crescent Rock and Hawksbill Mountain
The winter morning I photographed this scene was cold. The below-freezing temperatures formed rime ice on trees and shrubs on the west side of Blue Ridge Mountains. Clouds covered the sky, allowing the low sun to shine for brief seconds through a few small breaks. I stepped on the ground of the Crescent Rock at one of those moments and got attracted to the beautiful light on the mountain slope. By the time I set up my camera, the clouds had rolled in tighter and blocked the sun. It took me another ten minutes of waiting before the next break allowed the light to illuminate the curves of the Hawksbill Mountain and letting me make the exposure.
