This Thanksgiving I spent five days driving the Blue Ridge Parkway and into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I’ve been to both locations so often that it is difficult to find new subjects to work with. However, that doesn’t stop me going back as often as I can. 

On this visit the unsettled weather and partly cloudy days made for some spectacular sunsets. These are a couple of shots taken from the Blue Ridge Parkway looking over the Pisgah National Forest. 

The first shot is a long exposure to blur the fast moving clouds. The second one caught my eye because of the way the sun was reflecting on the clouds from below the horizon and the interesting swirls the clouds were making.
