"On the Edge" captures a breathtaking sunset along the Blue Ridge Parkway, a moment that I was fortunate enough to witness. As I arrived, the sky transformed into a canvas of vibrant colors, layered beautifully against the distant mountains. The abstract quality of the scene struck me; the soft gradients of pink and blue blended seamlessly, creating a tranquil atmosphere that felt almost magical. I remember standing there, feeling the cool breeze and absorbing the serenity of the moment. It was a reminder of nature's beauty and the fleeting nature of time. So I threw my telephoto lens and took this photograph.
The colors were already there in post-processing. All I did was add a little bit of vibrance and reduce some clarity, and I ended up with this, which is what I remembered seeing standing on that ridgeline.
This photograph encapsulates that experience, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on their own moments of peace. I hope it resonates with you as much as it did with me.
This captivating sunset scene invites viewers to pause and reflect, bringing a sense of serenity to any space. The layered blues of the mountains create a soothing backdrop for the vibrant sun, offering a perfect balance of energy and calm. This piece would be ideal for someone looking to infuse their living space with natural beauty and a touch of daily inspiration.

These colors work well because they either echo the serene blues of the mountains or the warm tones of the sunset, creating a harmonious balance with the artwork.
This piece would be stunning as a focal point in a living room or bedroom. I'd suggest placing it above a low-profile sofa or bed with clean lines to maintain the minimalist feel of the landscape. Pair it with natural wood furniture to bring in the organic elements of the mountains.
