My fellow motorcycle riders will recognize this well known 318 hair-pin curve drive through NC & TN on Hwy 129 known as the "Tail of the Dragon." Although I live in the North GA Mountains, this was a 3 1/2 hour drive for me to reach this section of Hwy 129 by 5:30 a.m. And within minutes of taking this breathtaking shot, it was gone. Many say it doesn’t even look like a photo, more like a painting. My response, “You just had to be there.”

Thank you for all the PR, comments and Likes! I am solely and merely an amateur photographer. I so admire professional photographers who devote their lives to capturing these breathtaking photos that can last from minutes to seconds. I don't live far from here; however, it was still a 4 hour drive, leaving at 2:45 in the morning. Just to be there at the right time, right place, to have been set up, ready, fingers crossed and literally 5 minutes I couldn't reclaim it. I tried driving to different coves at different altitudes on the mountain; however, the magic was lost.

Thanks again for all the PR, LIKES, and COMMENTS.
I'm truly honored by this image being worthy enough to have been awarded within the FINALIST category of 2 competitions.
Never a winner: Those nagging things that leave you discourage knowing that will never be good enough.
