Another shot from Buck Mesa, this was taken a shot I posted. This happened very quickly when the setting sun opened up and blasted the mountain side with a beam of light so strong the I almost clipped my highlights. Reaching this particular location was a challenge, and I wouldn’t recommend it with a passenger car or without some kind of offroad tires that can shed mud quickly.
It was fairly difficult to find the viewpoint as the path leading up to it was pretty hidden among the trees and bushes. So after a bit of bushwhacking, we managed to get to the beautiful viewpoint only to find a completely overcast mountain and soft even light which was robbing every bit of color present from the fall foliage. But just a the sunset neared, the sun broke through to bring back color and contrast in abundance.
