This is from one of my favorite overlooks (Morton) in Smoky Mountains National Park. In fact, I like it so much I tend to stop there nearly every evening when I’m in the area. I’ve literally been to this overlook 20+ times over the last couple years – and the result was never what I thought it could be.

Until this image a few weeks back.

It had been a very stormy month in the mountains and when the lighting and thunder came though early evening, I knew I had a good chance. Although my hotel was nearly an hour’s drive away, I decided to go for it anyway. When I arrived, it was just magic.

The wind was sweeping the clouds thorough the mountains, every minute changing the scene to something new. I was so mesmerized with the clouds drifting by I almost forgot to take some photos (almost )

Very nice Steve!
The swirling clouds/fog are obviously what make the scene. Great catch.

Like most of us, I see lots of photographs every day. I linger on most of them only a second or two. This one pulls me into it and holds my attention for a long, long time. I feel the magic I imagine you felt when you shot it. Very nicely done!

Nice shot! I like how you handled the DR. It's been a very wet year here in the Smokies.

Nicely done, Steve, but why stay an hour from your favorite place?

Hey Steve,

What a cool shot! You really have got some sweet light and it shows how perseverance pays off! I have been to the Smoky Mountains only a couple of times, but one thing I remember is just how fast the clouds could move and change and just how fleeting the light was. Glad you were able to capture this scene.

Great shot. The mystery of the fog contrasting with the colour of the sunset really adds drama to this photo.
