and we had

beautiful

filtered light.

 Day 2

   Cades Cove Loop    

Scenic 1

Had to wait

for the cars

to pass.

Arch 1

Leader of

group hates

 images with

arches so

I had to

post 2 of

them.

Tree 2

Windows

 Day 2

   Elijah Oliver Place

Cabin 2

Not really a

fan of cabins

but went with

the flow.

Cabin 1

 Day 3

  Cades Loop Road   (again)  

Trees 1

Fog is

awesome.

Sun 1

I love

minimalist

images.

They do look better as

large prints

 though.

Two Trees

Arch Trees

Space

I live in an

urban area

so the subject

 is the space.

(not the tree)

Space is the

ultimate

luxury.

Grist Mill

Ah yes, my

mandatory

postcard shot.

 Day 3

  Junction Laurel Creek Road Little River Road  

Impression 1

A little Monet,

anybody?

Impression 2

 Day 4

  Foothills Parkway

Sunrise 1

Images before

sunrise are the

most difficult.

Sunrise 2

From the time

the sun rises

above the

horizon, you

only have a couple

seconds to get

the shot.

Sunrise 3

The sun, the

fog, the trees,

just awesome.

Sunrise 4

The sun had

 already risen

and everyone

else was

packing up.

To me,

this is the

best time to

photograph. 

 Day 4

Finding form

and flow is

always fun.

Trees 1

These tree

 images don't even come

close to duplicating

the real

 experience.

 Day 4

  Cades Cove Loop      

Panorama 1

Towards the

end of 

Cades Cove

Loop.  Easy

to miss

before golden

hour.

 Day 5

  Cades Cove Loop - Hyatt Lane Cut Through   

Hyatt 1

Incredibly

rustic

but too much

traffic on this

Cades Cove

Loop bypass.

Hyatt 3

Frost is

wonderful.
