Carving a Path
Photographed along West Prong Little River, in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, water winds its way around and through a rocky landscape. In the end, water always wins. You can find prints available here.

Under the Road
Returning from the Late Afternoon Delight location, I crossed the road and carefully descended a steep, twenty-foot hillside. At the base, I waded across the creek and found this scenic landscape view, as seen looking under a bridge (hence, the dark shadow) from one side of the road to the other. Prints available here.

Late Afternoon Delight
I shot this photograph yesterday afternoon in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Originally, I planned on visiting Cades Cove, but the blue skies I’d anticipated had become hazy and bright, instead.
So, I found a parking area and followed a creek back into the woods, pleased to find this mossy landscape with cascades and dappled light.
You can find many fine prints available in my gallery, also – so, check it out.

Maze of Moss
Water winds its way through the forest and a maze of moss-covered rocks. This is Middle Prong Little River in the Smoky Mountains, a beautiful location that I hope you might enjoy in a frame on a wall in your home. Prints available here. Thanks for stopping by!

Rocks in the River

Trailhead Footbridge
A few miles further into the Smoky Mountains beyond the Old Wooden Bridge, at the end of a dirt road, visitors arrive at this footbridge marking the trailhead of Middle Prong Trail. It also marks the end of Lynn Camp Prong, which, when merged with Thunderhead Prong (unseen, this side and right of the footbridge), becomes Middle Prong Little River, shown here.
I took this photograph yesterday evening, two hours after rain and while (carefully) standing on a broad, moss-covered rock in the river.
And, to better appreciate the beauty of the area, I’ve also included this video, taken with my iPhone. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Old Wooden Bridge

A Study in Contrasts
This black and white nature photography features light, flowing rapids, and dark, stationary rocks. As the sun sets behind a mountain ridge, the last vestiges of daytime stream as light through the forest to reflect on cascades along Thunderhead Prong, located in the Smoky Mountains. Prints available.

Mountain Hike
Shadows grow to consume the valley before sunset, as I approached the terminus of Thunderhead Prong Quiet Walkway. At this time of day, distant stumps in the forest begin to take the shape of bears, and sudden sounds are perceived with a heightened sense of interest. I’m aware that this trail is only hiked infrequently, and that I’m all alone in nature.
This is Thunderhead Prong in the Smoky Mountains, where the trail meets the waterway, at left, and a rocky incline, at right, becomes too steep to proceed.
If you’d be interested in a print of my photography, then please visit my gallery to select the best suited option. Print types include framed, canvas, poster, metal, art, acrylic, wood and tapestries. Framed prints may be customized, also.
Thanks for visiting!

Peace in the Forest
Situated in a forest of dense green, this spot along Middle Prong Little River was filled with beauty, peace and quiet – pristine nature without distraction. It’s a place where waters meet, as the river flows around a long island to reconnect.
You may enjoy this landscape on a wall in your home, as you sit back and immerse yourself in this natural environment, imagining the steady, gentle sound of water cascading downstream, or that of birds, hidden from sight though whose calls stream through forest trees.
I hope you’ll find something you like. Prints available here.
