Morton's Overlook in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. First time seeing fog like this, it was crazy. We came over the mountain through the rain and dense fog to find a hole punched in the sky about 15 minutes after sunset.
A very early spring at this high elevation, thankfully the valley where the falls sit had the green vegetation that I was looking for. Soco Falls is on the way to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park between Cherokee, NC and Maggie Valley, NC and a short distance from the Blue Ridge Parkway. A good rainfall produced a nice amount of flow in the creeks.
Second Beach is located in the Olympic National Park on the coast of Washington State. On this morning, my wife and I woke early and used headlamps to find our way along the wet and foggy trail to the beach. I timed this photograph to capture the soft sun light illuminating this sea stack as it rose over the horizon behind me. This photo is best printed in a 3:5 format or wider.
