Coosa Stormlight: The Drama of an Alabama Autumn

Witness the raw power and beauty of the Southern landscape with "Coosa Stormlight." Captured along the expansive waters of the Coosa River, this photograph documents the spectacular moment when a storm begins to break at sunset. The sky is a heavy canopy of slate-grey and white clouds, yet a low-hanging sun has found a window, flooding the horizon with a warm, liquid light.

This unique "stormlight" catches the peak autumn colors of the surrounding hills, turning the forest into a vibrant tapestry of rust, gold, and deep evergreen. The river surface, remarkably still despite the weather, acts as a perfect mirror, doubling the intensity of the sky and the shoreline. To the right, a series of wooden docks provide a sense of human scale and quiet solitude. This piece is a tribute to the unpredictable majesty of Alabama’s weather and the enduring beauty of its waterways.

"Coosa Stormlight" is a premier selection for collectors of fine art landscape photography, lovers of atmospheric weather events, and anyone who finds peace in the powerful beauty of the Alabama riverfront.
