02_07_22 Fall Sunrise over Western Pulaski County featuring Pinnacle Valley

Autumn Sunrise over Western Pulaski County, Arkansas

A composite image taken in 3 parts with a DJI Mavic 2 Pro Drone.  The fall colors were just about peaked on the ridge in the foreground, and had already pushed past peak in the valley.  I wanted to included the Maumelle River in this shot as I loved the look of it’s graceful curve at the bottom of the image.  The Arkansas river flows in the background. The sky that morning was special with a wonderful peak/pink color and the rising sun popped the colors of the trees on the ridge.  I found very few spots in the state in 2021 that had as much fall color as the Walton Heights Ridge.
