Sometimes you just arrive at just the right moment, as if you were meant to capture something. That's how I feel about this image in-particular, to me, this is one of my favorite shots I have ever gotten to experience as well as capture. I love how it showcase the true scale of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Biltmore is no small structure by any means, it is America's closet thing to an actual palace. The shaft of light just happen to be right on the Biltmore giving you a nice separation. The light shaft lasted just a few minutes, but it was a great few minutes.
