This is one of my favorite time-lapses in a while. It was a beautiful location. The clouds danced and moved. The sun sank in the sky as a large ball of fire. The colors blended and moved through the sky long after the sun was gone.
In the end, night won the battle over day as it always does.

The mountains were swallowed by darkness well before the sky. The contrast was stark and beautiful. Eventually, the clear vibrant colors of the sky slowly gave way to darkness and matched the mountains.

Once the sun dipped behind the mountains the layers of soft color revealed themselves. Deep blues and violets blended with pinks and dark oranges that lived in the clouds.

Morton Overlook in Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Morton Overlook is a beautiful spot along the road up to Clingman’s Dome. I like it because it exemplifies the layers of ridges that make the Smoky Mountains so beautiful.
It is also one of my favorite places because the altitude gives me a break from the summer heat.

I wanted to do a time-lapse like this for a long time. I found the perfect day (that turned out not so perfect) and headed to Clingmans Dome in Great Smoky Mountains National Park to capture this.
I spent 6 hours, battled fog and condensation on the lens, to get this time-lapse. It's not perfect but I really like how it turned out.
Have you been to Clingmans Dome before? What's your favorite part?
