This black and white photograph features a concrete structure known as Look Rock Tower. Located in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee along the new section of the Foothills Parkway, near Townsend, it serves as both a weather station for monitoring air quality, and as an observation platform. It’s also available on prints in my gallery, so stop by sometime and see what you can find.

Beautiful capture and B&W!
Dankjewel lieve Inge! Ik ben blij dat je het leuk vindt en ik wens je een geweldige nieuwe week toe! Zorg goed voor jezelf, mijn lieve vriend! 🌹
LOVELOVELOVE this picture! It makes me feel like I’m climbing up to the sky! Wonderful light and shadow – beautiful details, too. 👏👏♥️👏👏
Thank you very much, dear Robin! Views from the top are wonderful, and I’m glad you enjoy this photograph ~ have a great new week ahead! 🤗🌹
Thank you, Phil! You, too! 🥰
TY dear 🙏🙂
I’ve never seen a tower put together like this, very nice. I’m a ham radio guy and find antenna systems very interesting. I see a two-bay co-linear VHF antenna, a fiberglass VHF vertical antenna, and one that looks like an 800 or 900mhz antenna. Fun!
Right on, John 👍 According to an informational placard at the trailhead, the tower serves both environmental and communication purposes.
Thanks for this, Phil. The placard shows parabolic antennas which are now gone.
Cool pic Phil, I see you’ve been off the grid like me. 💞
Good morning my dear Cindy. 😘 It’s nice to see you here! Yes, I’ve been off the grid regarding comments, as of late. I hope to be back soon, and also hope that you are doing well. Wishing for you a great new week ahead, my friend! 💞💐
