Couple weeks ago, during the full moon, I took a couple of long exposures from our deck.
Canon 40D, 15-85 EFS is lens, ISO 200, tripod mounted.
Wide angle, shot at 15mm focal length, 15 second exposure. The pin hole like spots above mtns are stars and lights across and down in the Waynesville valley. Mt Pisgah has the line of lights up its flank:
Zoomed out to ~85mm, (on a crop sensor cam), with 20 second exposure.
Thanks for looking!

Absolutely breathtaking ! thanks for posting those.
Couple of Sunrise pics...from 9-11, shot from our deck as usual.
First pic is a subtle sun up, though the color of the sun was remarkable through the clouds and refraction. Taken about 7:15, ISO 100, f14, on a pod. Apology for the sensor spots; I cannot get rid of them using every trick I know...
Did my morning hump up the mtn, got home and saw this view about 8:30 AM. Very typical sun rays this time of year; have taken hundreds of them, but this one was nice too.
9-11: everyone remembers where they 'were'. We were here in Waynesville, in a motel taking the morning off, after wallpapering the kitchen and a bathroom all weekend long in our new nearly completed mtn home here on Eagles Nest Mtn. We sat in a local W'ville motel watching CNBC and getting our gumption up to go back and do more wallpapering, when the first plane hit, and then the 2nd, and then PA and then the Pentagon. We were from NY, worked in the City when not travelling for biz, and had been in those towers literally hundreds of times. We had ~50 friends/biz friends that woulda, shoulda, coulda been there that day, including a half dozen that were in the towers. All that were in there, got out, and all of our other friends that could have been there weren't there that day, for whatever reasons. We have not yet sucked it up enough to go back to the site to see the 'memorial', other than a gut wrenching quick look back there at the site in late 2001.
I just thought a nice gentle 'view' would be a good salve for that day and the sunrise provided it for me, and for us to remember by...

MD the mountain sunrise with fog in the valleys is worthy of National Geo.! Sure shows why we are the Blueridge Mnts. At times the beauty here just stops a person in their tracks.
WOW!! motordavid, your pictures are beautiful!!! I made one of the sunrise pictures the background on my PC. I can't imagine having views like this from my home. You are a lucky man!!
Moving there soon, better get my camera fired up!!
