Fall Color in the Smokies © 2021 Patty Hankins
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.
