Evening in the western North Carolina Mountains, Otto, North Carolina. August 15, 2006.

Evenings in the mountains can be magical times. We were visiting our friends Judy and Charlie at their cabin near Otto, North Carolina, when I snapped this picture. The sun was starting to drop behind the mountains, and mist was rising in the valleys. The dead tree seemed to add a sense of mystery to the scene.

Really stinks that I have property in Western NC and have only been up there once since 1992. It’s so beautiful.

That’s a dramatic photo, looks like it could be from a movie.

It’s funny I was thinking movies too and then saw the previous comment.
Lovely moment captured George.

Well done! Love your header also!
We still haven’t had much snow around here — just one light snow. I haven’t really missed the snow, but someone we both know is longing for some more.
