Burning Towards Tennessee
As the sun rises over the Clingman Domes, slowly the Tennesse landscape becomes lit.clingman domesgreat smoky mountainslandscapepigeon forgetennessee
Afternoon Tea
Hotels and resorts in Bermuda on the water have the perfect settings to enjoy an afternoon tea.
Pool's Mill Bridge, Interior
Although only used as a foot bridge, the supports for wheeled vehicles still remain. The local kids get the courage every once in a while to add some graffiti to the supports. I wonder how many are caught after-the-fact from the cameras that are installed?
Morning Approaches
Looking out from Clingman's Dome towards the Carolinas about 20 minutes before sunrise
Blue Ridge Sunrise
The sun just rising over the Blue Ridge Mountains
Down In Front!
It is remarkable that with beautiful sunset and gorgeous scenery you can still sit in the back row and have an unmarred view. Foliage, colors, sailboats, and the sun behind the clouds; beats any old movie!
Color Wall
Just around the corner from the Graveyard Fields on the Blue Ridge Parkway is a small canyon. The steep-sided canyon wall on the far side had colors that popped in the shade just after the sun went down.
Fall Approaches
The Blue Ridge Mountains are still covered in green even in early October. A few trees have started succumb to cooler weather and shorter days.
North Carolina Bamboo
A lot of the overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway overlook large swaths (swatches, groups??) of trees. At this stop I walked down about 40 feet into the trees and was bathed by the yellow light from the afternoon sun filtered through the oak trees. In this area there are so many that is looks like a stand of bamboo heading off down the hills. Although there was only a slight and infrequent breeze, it was enough to fuzz up the HDR bracketed shots I took. So I used a single frame HDR with processing applied to get the color and contrast of the trees.
Tendrils of Fall
Morning in the Smokies, the sun trying to push through the heavy fog and remnants of an autumn storm
Sawnee Dusk
The sun has just set over the Indian Seats. It was pitch dark (excpet for the full moon) by the time I arrived at the car.
Blue Ridge Parkway
This would be a fantastic drive if not for the 45 MPH speed limit the entire 469 miles that the parkway stretches. Extremely pretty road the entire distance.
Tracking Station Zebra
Most likely a cell phone tower, but with the sun rising and the fog off in the valley, it looks more like a remote outpost in Antartica than the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains
