Description
The Cowee Mountain Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. Standing at the overlook trying not to be overwhelmed by the incredible sight of the mountains in the warm and sunny autumn afternoon. Seeing the popping colors of the reds, yellows, and oranges that filled the landscape added to the excitement of the moment I was standing there. As I looked in to the valleys I could see leaves gently falling to the ground. The smell of aromatic firs, the fresh leaves that have fallen stirred the senses. The bright sun illuminated each ridge creating highlights and shadows that would give the grand landscape endless depth. All I could do was try and capture this scene so I could always have as a vivid memory. This very image won multiple awards and a print hangs in my house because this one by far is one of my most favorite images I have created.
