Another beautiful autumn in North Carolina. Foggy mornings, vibrant sunsets, and dark star filled nights are often associated with autumn in North Carolina, and I was fortunate to witness some of these beautiful scenes. This year I spent my focus mainly on two areas, Doughton Park and Pilot Mountain State Park. Both of these parks are very special to me, and it was a new experience watching and documenting the change of colors over the fall months.
