Having not seen a good amount of now in a few years, I moved to the Shenandoah Valley at the right time. I got to spend my winter shooting some of the best snow I've seen in a long time around JMU, Silver Lake in Dayton, and around the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The whole area is covered in colors right now. I drove up to Ravens Roost Overlook to capture the overlook at sunrise. Since it is on the western side of the parkway, all the photographers were at other overlooks. So I had this one all to myself!
