I think most photographers love to get photos of roads. A nice winding road through good scenery is hard to beat. This shot was captured in the Droughton Park part of the parkway. Don’t forget to wait for the traffic to clear and it doesn’t hurt to have a look […]
The two shots tonight are both taken from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The first shot required a 1/2 mile hike to the viewpoint on the Tanawaha Trail to the overlook that looks towards the Lynn Cove Viaduct. I used the telephoto lens to zoom in on the viaduct as it […]
A few more of my favorites from the Blue Ridge Parkway and its surrounding area. The shot of the Black bear was taken at Grandfather Mountain. If you have not been there the two major attractions are the “Mile high swinging bridge” and the small zoo. This bear was photographed […]
After shooting the sunrise and waiting for the right light to fall on the Lynn Cove Viaduct from the classic location I headed back up the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Tanawaha Trail. I read that this was a can’t miss trail and the beginning of it had some great […]
Cades Cove is a favorite for just about everyone who visits Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Cable Mill is about 1/2 way around and is a great place to stop. There is the mill which is what is pictured here along with a barn, large house, and a small visitor […]
During our trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway we tried to hit several of the waterfalls. At Graveyard Falls it was a decent hike along a muddy trail to this section of the falls, but it was well worth it. We actually almost missed this part because it was hidden […]
One of my favorite waterfalls in Great Smoky Mountains National Park is Spruce Flat Falls. It is not one of the really popular ones so there are usually not too many people around. This waterfall is found in the Treemont area. It can be seen on the opposite side of […]
We timed our trip this year to try to catch the fall colors in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Although it had been windy and that had taken down a lot of leaves we still found a lot of spots with good color. The carpet […]
A quick post tonight. Two shots from Price Lake along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I shot this on my way back to our cabin near Boone from the Linn Cove Viaduct. There were some nice colors and a nice little mist hanging over the lake. [facebook]
The first shot tonight is from the launch site while we were waiting to determine if we were going to get to go on our hot air balloon flight. This barn was right next to the field we were in and the combination of sunrise lighting, an old barn, and […]
