{"product_id":"smoky-mountains-fall","title":"Smoky Mountains Orange Sky and Layered Ridges Wall Art","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDark Forested Slopes Receding Into a Warm Glow\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrange fills the sky, but the mountains remain almost entirely in shadow. That division gives this Smoky Mountains photograph its strength. I see the ridges first as a sequence of dark, overlapping shapes, then as a landscape opening toward the much lighter distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nearest slope rises sharply from the lower right, while another wooded ridge cuts across from the left. Behind them, more distant mountains become softer and warmer in tone. Their changing outlines form a passage through the middle of the image. There is just enough detail along the tree covered edges to keep the shapes connected to a real landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis photograph comes from my autumn visit in 2008. What held my attention was the depth created by those repeated ridges rather than a close display of leaves. The orange light makes the farther mountains easier to separate, while the foreground stays heavy and subdued. That movement from dark to light gives the eye a clear route without requiring a road, river or building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wanted the colour and the mountain structure to carry the scene together. The sky is bold, but the lower part of the photograph gives it a quiet counterweight. For someone who enjoys warm landscape art, the image offers a recognizable Smoky Mountains view with a simple arrangement of light and shadow. It can feel dramatic at first glance, then more spacious as the successive layers become apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2008\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40606584242255,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40485953306703,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40606554587215,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40485953339471,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602030133327,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40485953372239,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185211383887,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Smoky-Mountains-Orange-Sky-and-Layered-Ridges-Wall-Art-1b.jpg?v=1791420080","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/smoky-mountains-fall","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
