Sunset Over Back Hollow

On our evening excursion to Bald Knob last weekend, in addition to photographing the Singing Moon rise in the east, we were able to watch a pretty fantastic sunset. As a matter of fact, the sun set about 10 minutes before the moon rose. Nature isn't usually that rapid fire when it comes to celestial bodies. This panorama looks out to the west towards Back Hollow Road. The dark hill on the right is Canaan Mountain, while the hill in the distance is Shavers Mountain near Otter Creek. From high points like Bald Knob, the world becomes a bit smaller and you can start pointing out all the places you have hiked or biked over the years.
