Description

A dramatic vision of gathering clouds as the sun sets in the mountains of central Pennsylvania ... hints of shades of yellows and lavenders and golds and peaches and pinks vie with shades of blue as the day ends. The rich dark greens of the trees capture just the slightest tint of the light from the setting sun, outlining their shapes and mimicking the swirling clouds above.

I love so many things about Blue Knob Mountain in the Claysburg / Pavia area of Central Pennsylvania. The frigid winters with the amazing snow-fall, the icy patterns formed on windows, the incredible autumn color, the dear wild-flowers (weeds?) in summer ... and so much more.

But one more subtle pleasure is the way the clouds can gather up and billow into the most fantastical visions. There doesn't even have to be a storm on the way ... I think the air currents just decide it's time to have some fun and off they go, whirling and swirling into the most beautiful visions, made possible by the upthrust of the mountains of the Laurel Highlands. How all that majesty and drama can take place in such complete silence always amazes me. Feels like there should be an orchestra somewhere to herald all the visual goings-on. Even the birdies in the air head to their homes for the night and become quiet.

Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
