Description
Beauty and the Beast - Asheville North Carolina Spring Flowers Blue Ridge Parkway Thunderstorm Scenic Mountains Landscape Photography
I have two distinctly different memories of my experience in the mountains near Asheville on the evening I shot this image. One of them is filled with beautiful mountain scenery, warm summer air, golden sunlight streaming down over the horizon signaling the impending sunset, framed in splashes of bright pink mountain laurel at the peak of their annual bloom. The other is filled with chaos, a bit of fear, and the sheer violence that a severe storm at altitude can unleash in a matter of minutes.

Dave – I wanted to let you know that your stunning image was a top-ten candidate in the selection of the October "Photo of the Month" for the Go Take a Hike Photography Group. Even though not advancing as a finalist, this image is most worthy of recognition as a superb photographic effort, so congratulations and well done!

Congratulations, Dave – your stunning scene finished third place among group members in the Go Take a Hike Photography Group’s Falling Rain photo contest!

Thanks so much Charlotte, it got a bit crazy for a while there but it was a great scene to stand in front of and watch!

Love it! My former home. Have seen some epic thunderstorms in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Dave Allen replied:
Yeah there are some crazy storms up on the Blue Ridge Parkway, makes for great scenery though!
