How I Got This Shot: Streams of late afternoon sunlight turned to fire on this ridge at Graveyard Fields. Normally everyone shoots the waterfalls and river in front of and to the left of the ridge, but on this occasion the light demanded that I capture the tapestry of Autumn colors Graveyard Fields is famous for. Shot handheld.
