Cold is a State of Mind

Another photographer once gave me the following advice: “When you see a beautiful sunset, turn around and shoot in the opposite direction.”

Winter makes for wonderful sunsets, and photography. The air, devoid of humidity, is clear and the colors can be spectacular. I braved the freezing temperatures yesterday afternoon to follow this advice, and to attempt something I rarely do: capture scenic, landscape/cityscape photos of my town, Asheville, NC. The light was beautiful, clouds hung in the sky, and somehow my frozen fingers managed to operate the controls on my camera, for a few minutes.

Here is a shot of some of the downtown buildings:

And another, facing North, of the Grove Park Inn and North Asheville:
