Pam: funny you should say that - my friend, also a painter - and I agreed that if you painted this as we saw it, it would look phony! it was amazing how very blue it was.
dianne: it was peaceful. i think the light streaming through forest is one of my favorite things in all the world.
Love this tribute to Troll's return. Think I agree with Troll, I'll take blue mountain beauty over Buckhead anyday. Well.... maybe not on shopping days :-)
I'm wondering what the scientific explanation is for the Smokies phenomena. It is a rare and special place you are in, I have never seen it anywhere else in all the mountain ranges I've traveled.
karl: yes! and it is the same at my house - its dark a half hour earlier than up on the road.
moi: i think fall is the best...the richness of colors and fading light actually trumps the pastels of spring. although, when the cherry blossoms are falling it is so good to be alive
heifer: even better than the blue bayou
buzz; really. i am ready for bed at 8:30! lol
fishy: the freakin noise alone is enough to have a hate on for the city. when i am declared Empress all leaf blowers shall die.
/t: interesting. because this doesnt happen in spring. Its not juiced in PS either. thats the real blue.
nina: a good research assignment! the blue ridges are so blue...when i shoot from the mountain top the camera really cant see that far.'
aunty:
carpets of golden needles pad the forest floor white pines still whisper

Good morning Chickory,
ReplyDeleteIt's neat how the light increases the perspective of the steepness in the ridge.
Marvelous, how each season has its own quality of light, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBlue Haiku !
ReplyDeleteIt almost looks like a Japanese forest. And you got that right about 3 looking like 6. Where did the late afternoons go?
