Rhododendron Bloom With Stormy Weather

Clear weather is not always the best for photography on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. Breaking weather after a storm can provide some unique opportunities.

Excellent eye for beauty in a landscape the atmosphere perfect with the low clouds dressing up the scene.
What pulls this shot together is the Rhododendron in a clear atmosphere and light.
Tack sharp up front and beautiful.

A beautiful vivid image like one often achieves in damp/wet conditions. Nice sky, mist and foreground flowers, all well captured.
