When Cynthia
Staley set off to
Valley Falls State
Park near Fairmont,
West Virginia, she
had planned to
photograph the
double waterfalls
on the Tygart
River. But on her
walk back to the
car after shooting,
she was met with
a pleasant surprise
when she noticed
how beautiful
the fog looked
lifting over the
trees near the river.
"I am drawn to
patterns in nature,
so I liked the layers
of shadows and
mist through the
trees," she says
