Yup. The colors change alot very quickly. I've found it a challange to position myself where I have a ridge for the sun to fall behind at the right time. Dunno what part of WNC you're in, but Jump Off Rock in H'ville's one of my favorite locations for sunsets.

Great place! A friend of mine's looking for locations to build there. Any suggestions? Heard good stuff about 276 north of Maggie....

I love the color in the first one and I love the cloud formations in the last one. The white spot is just a sign of life intruding on nature. :D

Very nice!
