appalachianphotojournal:Storm on the Mountain: Dolly Sods, West Virginia (September 2006)What makes me happy as an amateur photographer? To be in the right place at the right time. To capture a primeval landscape in utter transformation from one moment to the next. To see a place I have explored a million times in a completely different light. Mountains have the capacity to transform themselves in magical ways. I was fortunate on this cold, blustery day in the Allegheny Highlands to have witnessed one storm front after another move across this ancient land, granting the exposed rock outcrops and flagged spruce moments of gauzy, ethereal beauty that made me feel as if I had been transported to some mythical never-land. The illusion was broken only in the waning moments of late afternoon, when the storms finally passed through for good, and the clouds lifted to reveal the softly-lit mountains to the east. -- source link
