Location: Second Falls from the Blue Ridge Parkway – Milepost 418.5
While driving along the Parkway near Graveyard Fields, I saw the thick fog descending down the mountainside just above Second Falls. I was able to pull off the roadside, set up the tripod and fire off a few shots, before the falls and autumn colors were lost in the clouds.

How I Got This Shot: If you drive north past the Graveyard Fields parking lot just a few hundred feet, there’s a spot where you can pull off the road and get a nice view of Second Falls. I set up my tripod here, far out of the way of traffic, and took as many shots as I could at different exposures before the clouds dropped down over the scene.
