How I Got This Shot: Driving along the Parkway in search of a nice shot of the blooming rhododendrons, I noticed a few thin layers of clouds moving into the Craggy Gardens area. Anticipating great color after the sunset, I quickly parked in the parking area, grabbed my sturdy RRS tripod and walked to an area just north of the parking lot and waited. Luckily the skies lit up nicely during dusk and I was able to grab this shot.
