Autumn sunrise

November 06, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

On a recent cold and windy morning, I visited the Buck Hollow overlook in Shenandoah National Park to watch and shoot the sun rising over the fall foliage. Buck Hollow is located on Skyline Drive, which is considered one of the most scenic drives in the United States. It's well worth visiting in the fall, particularly during peak season. However, timing a visit can be hard since the peak is short and as unpredictable as the weather. I made it just after the peak for this shoot. In many places, the trees were completely bare, but at Buck Hollow, there were still plenty of colorful leaves on the trees.
