Regular readers know I recently spent a weekend at Cass Scenic Railroad State Park in West Virginia. While there Hubs and I drove on up the mountain to the Snowshoe Ski Resort. Of course it was too early for snow but we enjoyed the views and the sky above us. Click on this first photo and scroll through the skies we enjoyed that evening.
This second shot was taken seventeen minutes after the first one. Amazing how the colors and the mood can change so quickly.
As I turned to look behind me I saw the moon floating in a lovely field of blue.
Twenty-four minutes after the first shot above this was the sunset we witnessed over the West Virginia Mountains - the words "Almost Heaven" seemed appropriate.

These are beautiful pictures. I like each and every one of them.
Terrific captures, and that moon...gorgeous.
Snowshoe is another place I want Buddy to take me. This weekend we are going up into Shenandoah NAtional PArk. Buddy is running a shuttle for 2 AT hikers from New Jersey so I am going along. Hoping for good weather and NO rain. These view you captures are divine. You are making me want to make the trip even more. genie
Very beautiful...especially the first picture.
I love the transition of dark to light colors of the mountains. Like a shadow.
Great capture!
hehehehe, do they allow snowshoeing up there? Just kidding.
That moon really is floating! Love it!
I love the color on that second shot Carletta!
What pretty pastel colours!
Mountain skies are just so photogenic, especially at sunrise and set. Nice shots Carletta.
They sure are heavenly skies. Love the moon floating in the pastel sky.
Great shots Carletta!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

"Almost Heaven" seems quite appropriate!! Beautiful skies and scenery. Bet you had a nice time there. Have a great weekend. Mickie :)
Exquisite skyshots!
Awesome shots--love the one of the moon (perfect)! Thanks for sharing :)
It does seem like almost heaven. I love to see a progression of sky changes like this -- makes it very easy to imagine I am sitting there watching it!
