I went north on the Parkway early one morning, hoping for a nice sunrise, maybe with some clouds lying in the
valleys. As is often the case, I drove without seeing anything that moved me to set up the camera.  I turned around
at Mt. Mitchell, tired of driving through the fog, and started down toward home and breakfast.
After a few miles, the fog began to thin, and I stopped at Glassmine Falls overlook to see what I could see.  One
look at the ridge across the valley and the sun just above it being revealed, then obscured by the ever-shifting
shapes of the fog made me scramble to get the camera set up.  The peep show went on for about 20 minutes,
during which I shot almost two rolls of film.  Its timeless, otherworldly feel makes this one of my favorite images.
As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a white
mat.  If you would like to
order unframed prints, go
to the "Purchase" page for
pricing.
