How I Got This Shot: I found this really nice patch of Rosebay Rhododendron blooming in late July up in the higher elevations of the parkway near Waterrock Knob. I went back a couple to times for sunset, and this evening the sun poked out for just a few seconds behind the clouds to put on this beautiful show. I tried to compose the image for the fir tree to point to the sun, with the Rhododendron framing the bottom of the image.
