This spot is called Look Rock, located along the old section of the Foothills Parkway, near Townsend, Tennessee, featuring expansive views of the Smoky Mountains.
A black and white photograph, it’s available on prints in my gallery and would make a wonderful addition to an empty wall…perhaps, you know of an appropriate spot in your home?
Print types includes framed, canvas, poster, metal, art, wood, acrylic and tapestry.
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.
These wildflower photographs were taken along the trail to Clingman’s Dome, located in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. A great accent piece for an empty wall in your home or at the office, print types include: framed, art, canvas, metal, poster, wood, acrylic and tapestry. And, framed prints may be customized.
Hope to see you soon…
Wild Mountain Honey, by Steve Miller Band (1976) – see lyrics here.
After a short 1/2 mile hike along a trail up the mountain, I could see Look Rock Tower through the bare trees of winter. Made of concrete, it has three long ramps to ascend and features panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains to the east, as well as the Cumberland Plateau, westward. Photographed here, a southerly view.
If interested, you can find prints available in my gallery. Thanks for stopping by!

These three morning photographs were taken from scenic overlooks along the old section of the Foothills Parkway, located outside of Townsend, Tennessee, near the Smoky Mountains. If interested in an accent piece for your home or office, you can find prints available in my gallery. Thank you very much!
After hiking, I drove north on US-321 and turned east onto the Foothills Parkway. It’s an 11-mile drive up and along the ridge line to Look Rock, an elevated platform from which to observe the Smoky Mountains. This was my second visit at this location, and, despite being mostly overcast, it’s always nice to have a look from above the clouds. You can visit my gallery to see more…

This morning photograph was taken in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, as captured while hiking along the trail to Clingman’s Dome.

Visitors of the Smoky Mountains can reach Chimney Tops – a mountain that the Cherokee Indians called Duniskwalguni, meaning ‘forked antlers’ – after a two mile hike along a steep trail. It’s a beautiful view, and one that you can enjoy everyday on prints available in my gallery at Fine Art America. I hope you’ll visit and find something you like, either for yourself or to give as a gift. Thanks!
This creative and surreal fantasy landscape featuring an infinite array of staggered, rocky peaks, reminded me of the 1986 movie, The Golden Child, when Eddie Murphy was tasked with the death-defying feat of carrying a glass of water (without spilling) across a similar, dangerous terrain. Fortunately, it’s much easier to access the following shops in order to find many great gift-giving ideas…
It’s morning in the Smoky Mountains, and, following my visit to Luftee Overlook – and before Clingmans Dome – I stopped at the Newfound Gap parking area to capture this framed view. If interested, you can find many prints in my gallery.
Thanks for visiting!
