I shot this scene following rainfall while hiking in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, wherein the landscape appears much like a temperate rainforest – with moss everywhere!
This photograph is available on fine prints, interesting gifts and apparel, in each of the following galleries…

Following rain, I drove east towards the Smoky Mountains, into the Tremont section along a gravel road – which parallels Middle Prong Little River – and rested for a spell to enjoy this moss-covered landscape.
The scenery reminded me of the 1981 movie, Excalibur, so I’ve included a (later rendition) song that was part of the soundtrack from that film, below:
O Fortuna (Carmina Burana), by Carl Orff
Following rainfall, water from a robust Middle Prong Little River rushes swiftly downstream. This photograph was taken in the Smoky Mountains, near Townsend, Tennessee, and is available on prints for your home or office. Please visit my galleries at Pixels and/or ArtPal for more. Thanks!
A recent heavy rainfall saturated the forest floor in the Tremont section of the Smoky Mountains, bringing this often scant waterfall to life. Here, both moss and ferns reside all year long, with the waterfall situated only 15-feet from a gravel road. Several smaller waterfalls can also be enjoyed during such time, along a muddy and scenic drive. Prints available.
Middle Prong Little River was flowing fast after recent rainfall, weather of which (in part) motivated my road trip to the Smoky Mountains. While I knew that the river would be full, I’d also hoped to capture some landscape scenes with fog on the water.
Forecasts indicated dense fog alerts throughout eastern Tennessee, which were subsequently observed along the entirety of my cautious drive. That is, until I travelled beyond Townsend and into the Great National Smoky Mountains Park. Mysteriously, only scattered patches of fog were present?!
As a landscape photographer, I’ve learned to make due with such potentialities, and, in addition to the many wonderful waterfront scenes I found, I also planned to visit the Foothills Parkway afterward, for a view from above the clouds and fog…more on that later.
If you’d be interested in enjoying my photography at home or work, then please visit my galleries at Pixels and/or ArtPal to discover the perfect accent piece! Many prints are available.
Thanks very much!
A fading sun did set
As twilight came to call
With darkness quickening
Nighttime began to fall
A ceiling formed
High overhead
With shadows cast
Reflections spread
Through clouds, a rain of rings
Dropped down across the sky
In streams of shining gold
As starlight, passing by

Inside a Glass Sphere
Enjoy this fun, urban digital watercolor artwork based on a photograph, featuring a pedestrian walking in the rain with an umbrella…inside of a geometric glass sphere! An uncommon sight, indeed. You can see more when you visit the following galleries, to discover fine prints, gifts and more!
You can visit my gallery at Pixels to see more. Photographs shown here include rain-soaked steps leading out of a gorge and into the forest at Fall Creek Falls State Park; an early morning shot of Thunderhead Prong, in the Smoky Mountains; and, billowing clouds in the distance one afternoon. Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy this digital artwork of a downtown street scene at night with falling rain. Based on a photograph. See more in my galleries at Pixels, Redbubble and ArtPal.
I appreciate you stopping by – thanks very much!
An umbrella is useful when it’s raining outside – and, apparently, even when walking inside a giant, levitating glass sphere. You can stop by my galleries at Redbubble and Pixels to discover some really cool gifts and apparel items. Open 24/7 with a roof – so, no umbrella necessary. Hope to see you soon!

What do you do when caught off-guard by rain, while seeking to photograph nature? Answer: find a bridge to shelter underneath and use a zoom lens!
And so it was, on a recent visit to Little River in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. You can enjoy this scene and stay dry at home with the purchase of a print from my gallery. Sound good? Many options…
Fog In The Valley
I photographed these flowers in the morning, on the edge of a very tall cliff at the Fall Creek Falls State Park, in Tennessee. The fog lingering in the gorge below adds to the beauty of this stunning landscape capture. If you’d be interested in a print for your home or workplace, then stop by my shops at Pixels and Society 6 to have a look around.
Thanks!
