2021 “End of the Day in the Blue Ridge Mountains. North Carolina” Modern Photography, Premium archival fine art paper by Marty Hulsebos Photography

As my wife and I were driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Asheville NC, we could see through the trees a beautiful big red sun that was heading toward the horizon to end the day. We hurriedly looked for an opening, but we hit a construction delay of several minutes. When our long line of cars finally started moving, the opportunity seemed to be disappearing. Then we came across an opening, but there was hardly a place to pull over. We found a tiny spot, and I rushed out, planted my tripod, and snapped a picture just as the sun was setting. The result was striking.

Marty Hulsebos and his Artwork

The artist has a fascination with how different varieties of light can transform a landscape, this is at the heart of his art. Also, no two moments are the same. Each moment is fleeting, never to be experienced the same way again. Being awake to opportunities, and being ready to take advantage of them, is his core activity as a landscape photographer. photographs
