Gilded Mist

After hiking Mt. Le Conte earlier in the day, I drove to a not-so-secret overlook along Newfound Gap Road to shoot sunset. It was cloudy and raining on and off; my expectations were low.
But the dark overhead clouds seemingly never made it to the horizon. Once the sun dropped below them, the entire valley was flooded with golden light. I sat in the rain and shot for at least 90 minutes, as the mist dancing along the mountains was ever changing.

This piece is signed on the back, and printed on heavy, museum-grade cotton rag paper featuring a semi-gloss luster finish.

All prints are produced and inspected by me at my home in Western North Carolina. I only use pigment- based (archival quality) inks and fine-art papers, so with some basic care, these prints will last a lifetime.
