ABOVE: Whitetop Mountain in Virginia's Grayson Highlands. From the photographer: " I was so fortunate to capture this amazing light as wispy clouds floated by and soaked in the colors of sunset illuminating the mountain layers in the distance. " Photo by Trevor Bamford BELOW: View from Woolyback Overlook, milepost 452 on the North Carolina Blue Ridge Parkway. From the photographer: " Passing storms gave way to brightening skies on a late June afternoon. I arrived just in time to see breathtaking light over nearby ridges, with low-lying clouds hovering over Cherokee and Bryson City in the distance. As often as I've shot images from this overlook, I always end up seeing something new. Or as a friend often says, 'Always never the same.'
