Schaconage, this is the Cherokee (Native Americans from the region) description of the mountains' atmosphere, which specifically means "like blue smoke". The early morning's mist takes on a life of it's own almost covering the magnificent mountains. What remains visible are the peak colors of fall. Raised textures throughout the mist further energize the impact as well as the coalition between all these variables. I find it nothing short of incredible when the light of dawn illuminates this awesome spectacle, the ultimate Shaconage! |
