The view from Sunset Point, Mt. Nebo, Arkansas. November, 2007.
I took the picture above in November, 2007, from Sunset Point at Mt. Nebo State Park in Arkansas. Betsy and I had gone to the point to view the sunset and we found this pretty scene when we arrived. The sun had not yet dropped to the mountains in west but was hidden behind the high clouds.
I decided to use this picture because Mt. Nebo is one of our favorite places to visit, and because we will be going back there next week to celebrate my birthday. I would anticipate getting several more sky watch pictures while we’re there. If I’m lucky we’ll also get some hiking in and will see some new waterfalls.

Beautiful, George. In all the years I’ve lived in Arkansas, I’ve been to Mt. Nebo only once. Looks like I might have to schedule a trip over there if it’s this pretty. An early Happy Birthday greeting to you!

Hi.
Very nice photo. I like that light that reflects so beautiful around and lights other clouds.

What a wonderful place to go to view the sky and boy did you have a treat on your November trip up there. This sky is so beautiful and I love the plane trail cutting though it…it kind of pulls you back into reality!

Beautiful view and photo! Love the patterns on the sky – and the lovely yellow mist above the mountain!

I hope you and Betsy enjoy your holiday! And just in case I forget (not unlikely, knowing me): I hope you have a beautiful, wonderful birthday too!

Looks like a pretty silvery sky to me!

George, I like the feathery clouds in contrast with the contrail, and the gold of the sunset highlighting the blue of the sky!!

Having had to hike to the spot makes the picture all the sweeter, and rewarding. And great capture by the way (hopefully it wasn’t too dark to find your way back!!!)
