Description
The North Carolina Blue Ridge Parkway autumn sunset let it all hang out in this shot, like a cloud waterfall of light in a panorama photograph. Both the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains are visable, in North Carolina and Tennessee, part of the Appalachian Mountains. After research I believe this is a shelf cloud waterfall. Under very special lighting and weather conditions and is considered rare producing a cloud waterfall of light near sunset.
The so-called "cloud waterfall" is a low-hanging shelf cloud. With normal shelf clouds, the base is cloud free. This can happen when warm, moist air rushes into a storm cloud. Cloud waterfalls only happen under a particular set of conditions.
The shape of the terrain is also important. Cloud waterfalls often occur over mountain slopes that surround an elevated plateau.
In these environments, clear skies allow the air to cool until the moist air is saturated, allowing a "sea of clouds" to form.
Finally, the cooler, more dense air atop the plateau must build to a point that it can spill over the mountain crest, which then flows downhill as a result of the force of gravity,
Prior to evaporating on its way down the mountain, the cloud gives viewers near the mountain crest a spectacular show that resembles a waterfall.
The sunbeams lit the mountains like a giant Christmas tree, sparkling over the foggy valleys this autumn evening. The southern Appalachians were amazing showing off crepuscular or twilight rays of light over the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is my new favorite photo. Done in gold, yellow and blue, green hues. Also available in duotone and black and white.
This photo was a hard edit. I think I made 4-5 attempts well over a year before I finally settled and was happy with this photograph. Larger sizes on request.
