Wow John, these are beautiful. The evening shot of the waterfall is breathtaking. What a wonderful variety of captures.

 

[Leigh]

Beautiful photos, John! I can't wait till we can get back up there again! Cade's Cove is just gorgeous and you captured it nicely!

 

[Dave Dickerson]

Great stuff, John. Glad you posted these I like all of them, but I've got a special fondness for Mabry Mill-I grew up just a few miles away.

That is God's country. I met a fellow there from Rhode Island who just arrived for his retirement. Lucky Fellow

Thanks all for the comments. My first road trip in 20 years. Totally self indulgent 6 days. :smile:

Great pics John. I love the creek and mill pics.

 

[Frits]

Wow, these are so nice John! It shows that you had a great time being out there, wonderful!

Beautiful!!! That first image -- WOW! All of them are just super! On my way home I was tempted to swing by the Smokies, too, but then decided against it. That is such a gorgeous place and now with spring here, it would be absolutely wondrous. You had a great road trip!
