Smoky Mountain Sunsets

There have been some amazing recent sunsets recently. I can’t help but take a photo of every single one. When I walk the dog at night there is this little window behind the hospital where you can see the small town of Bryson City through the trees. When the mountains are dark and there is just the last bit of sunlight streaming down into the bowl that the town is nestled in….that’s my favorite:

There have been so many recent storms that some of the sunsets have been eerily beautiful. I tried to take a photo of this one but our trees were in the way so I texted my friend Debi who lives up at a higher elevation. She missed it so she texted her neighbor Tammy who happened to get a photo. It takes a village! This one had a rainbow:

Boo and I visited Charlotte last week and the sunsets were just as beautiful there:

This is what I think my dad’s room in heaven looks like:

We had dinner last night at a friend’s house, way up high in the Smokies where we could see from Fontana all the way to Clingman’s Dome in the distance. I couldn’t stop staring at it because it looked like a painting. As the sun went down behind the western mountains, the sunset glowed brighter and more golden than I’ve seen in a long time:

One more sunset taken by our friend Jonathan (Instagram @jd_dunc). It’s my favorite because it shows the same view of a sunset on one of the new BCO t-shirts:

So many cool designs this year at the store to choose from…like the Smoky Mountains map hat? So cool. You can view it all here…or click the image below:

I found this website SunsetWX recently that will predict how intense the sunset is going to be in your area. The warmer the color the more vivid the colors will be as the sun sets. I guess this means we are going to have some amazing sunsets tonight:
