Smoky Mountains

Over the years I’ve made several trips to the mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee. Here are some of the photos from there that I’m finally getting around to editing.

The Beauty of Fall

by hankinslawrenceimages | Mar 25, 2021 | Tennessee

Ok – so I’m giving up on trying to organize posts by subject – and will just do it by season at least for a while. There are lots of posts with just a few photos lined up – and at the rate I’m going – I may never get enough photos for an entire post dedicated to a specific topic.

So – here are some of the wonderful fall scenes I’ve photographed over the years

Fall Color in the Smokies

by hankinslawrenceimages | Feb 9, 2021 | Tennessee

Over the years, I’ve spent several weeks photographing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the fall. On every visit, I kept hoping to capture a photograph of one of the hillsides covered with the bright colors of changing leaves, and maybe even a little fog somewhere in the photo. Finally, on one of my trips, I spotted this scene as I drove along the road. I pulled over, set up my tripod, set my camera up – and started photographing. And when I got back to my cabin and looked at the photos, I knew I had captured the scene I’ve been dreaming of.

I hope you enjoy seeing this beautiful fall moment as much as I enjoyed photographing it.

Along the Motor Nature Trail – New Photo

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Along the Motor Nature Trail – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/motor-nature-trail/

When I visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, one of my favorite places is the Motor Nature Trail located just outside downtown Gatlinburg. There are some wonderful trails, historic buildings, streams and waterfalls within easy distances of the road. This stream is located not far from the Ogle Cabin. Every time I visit, I find myself sitting by this stream for at least an hour, just enjoying the beauty and the quiet solitude of my favorite national park.

Cades Cove Stream – New Photo

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jul 16, 2020 | New Photos, Tennessee

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Cades Cove Stream – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/cadescovestream/

When I visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I always visit Cades Coves, even though it is often the most crowded area of the park. So I was pleased one morning during a visit a few years ago to spend some time enjoying a quiet peaceful stream. And as I sat there enjoying the view, I was amazed at the number of cars that drove by, never slowing down, much less stopping to enjoy the peaceful stream.

Spring in the Smokies

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jun 11, 2020 | Tennessee

Like many other photographers, I haven’t been out photographing much this spring – something about the stay-at-home orders and a pandemic. So I’ve been going back through some of the thousands of unweeded unedited photos on my hard drive and finding some to edit and share. These were taken a few years ago in my favorite national park – the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
