The Great Outsmores

If you’re not into seeing the peach drop, and want to see something spectacular on New Year’s eve, you can catch the best show in the North Georgia Mountains. This time of year, enchanting sunsets can be found near Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s highest peak. While a night hike to the summit can be special (with headlamps of course), an easier and nearly equal showing can be had from the South West corner of the parking lot.

Here’s a google earth view of the summit & parking lot looking Southwest over the Cohuttas and Cumberland Plateau:

I’ve had the chance to catch this one twice before, here’s a photo from the last outing:

We we’re greeted with this one right after checking in on our honeymoon in St. Johns.

Here’s one more from the trip:

A couple more from the sunrise & sunset photo file.  Usually, I’m lucky to take twenty pictures, and have two come out to be worthwhile.  On a previous trip to the Croatan National Forest and the Nuese River in North Carolina, I got a bit more lucky. I caught these just after setting up camp on a long sandy beach at the confluence of the river and the Atlantic.

 I’m not sure if this is one tree with two trunks or two trees all together…

 Passengers on board must have caught the sunset too:

And finally, some cool reflections in a couple pools on the beach:

Over the last few years, I’ve been blessed to find myself in a number of extraordinary spots.  I always try to have a camera handy, especially around sun up and sun down.  In this sunrise/sunset series I’m going to share some of my best, and as always, if you want a full size of any of the images - just send me an email.
