The sun is setting through the autumn trees and leaves in this beautiful foliage sunset scene. My son and I have been squirrel hunting all afternoon and I even laid down at the edge of the field to take a nap. After a while it started getting a little cooler since the sun was setting behind the trees and hills and the temperature dropped. My son came walking back and we heard something moving over the hillside and walked over to the edge of the treeline and this is what I saw. My thoughts quickly changed from hunting to photography as I grabbed my camera to get this picture.

Just on the other side of the dam for Spruce Knob Lake is this Autumn Hillside and Stream. This lake and surrounding forest is one of the most wonderful places in West Virginia. The Fall Foliage here is always outstanding even if it is dull and drear in other areas. It is an amazing place to be at night as well, because the stars come alive as a night time planetarium. This area is very remote and the silence is almost deafening at 2 am in the morning. Spruce knob is considered one of, if not the best place for stargazing on the east coast.
