How I Got This Shot: With the fog setting in thick on Mt. Mitchell we decided to drive back down the mountain in hopes of getting below the changing weather. We pulled in to the Mt. Mitchell over look and much to our delight the thick blanket of gray was subtly infiltrated by the sun on the mountain side in the distance. This shot was taken hand held just to the right of the overlook sign. The foliage was rich in color along the bank and used it to frame the scene and bring out the patches of red and orange in the distance against the gray tones of the sky.
