The sky and mountains from the Visitor Center, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. September 23, 2010.
This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world. To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.
Last week Betsy and I spent a very beautiful day at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. It was a perfect autumn day — bright sunshine, blue skies and cool temperatures.
The picture above was taken from the parking lot of the Visitor Center shortly after we arrived.
Brush Mountain Sky, Hensley Settlement. September 23, 2010.
The first thing we did at the park was take a tour of the Hensley Settlement on top of Brush Mountain. If anything the sky appeared to be even bluer. There was a hint of color in the trees at the edge of the fields.
The evening sky from Pinnacle Overlook, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. September 23, 2010.
After dinner we drove up to the Pinnacle Overlook hoping to catch the sunset, but the sun was behind the mountains by the time we got to the overlook. But the color of the sky was gorgeous. I captured this picture of the sky and the reflection in Fern Lake far below.

Very nice day at the park George. I think your luck at catching the sunset is like mine, of late. But that pink afterglow is what I like the best anyway. 🙂
