When Chris and I planned a car camping trip to the northern part of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia last summer for landscapes, we planned for photographs of both mountain scenics and waterfalls.  We had hoped to photograph mountain vistas at sunset and sunrise, but we didn’t get the dramatic weather we had been hoping for.  Fortunately, with a little creativity I was able to get a few shots despite the lack of brilliantly colored clouds.  These subtle colors at sunset provided the perfect backdrop for this photograph of the lone pine tree at Raven’s Roost silhouetted at sunset.  I like how the black silhouette of the pine cones and needles stand out against the soft orange and blue colors of the setting sun.
