Yes Virginia, Winter Does Happen In The South

And it won't go away this year either! There are some photos from the Smokies over the recent weeks. And more snow is falling right now with another blast headed this way next week. Not something we are used to down here this much!

Mortons Overlook in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, looking down into the valley where Gatlinburg, TN is located which is under the layer of clouds. This was actually after the sun went down and a full moon was illuminating the hoar frost awesomely. About a 30 sec exposure.

Same overlook in GSMNP and same time.


Mingo Falls in Cherokee,NC. There was more snow on the trail to it than on the falls.


Mingus Mill, GSMNP


Same Mill, only in January during a massive flood that wiped out a few of the roads we frequent. 12" of rain in 2 days. That much in snow would have been better!

All very nice but that last one needs to be framed and put on a wall.

Wonderful series. I especially like the first and last ones.

Yup.....I wholeheartedly agree! Beautiful set!

[Bambi]

wow. these are stunning. I love the first and last ones as well.

[Marko]

me too- i agree - really lovely set - last one is fab.

[Hillbillygirl]

And yet again. Another vote for #1 and last one, even though all are beautifully done.

Also should consider a series of Christmas cards too!
I like the roadway one with the tail lights adding the colour contrast. And as is mentioned here on several occasions, that last one is the money shot for me!

Sorry I missed these on the first pass through... I too like the set but number 2 with that bright red streak in an otherwise grey scene is awesome to me. Love it!

Excellent set! Love them all. Could easily go on about something I like in every shot. Particularly like the comp and framing in that 4th shot.
