I know it looks like a painting!  I have always heard that if a painting looks like a photograph its good, but what about a photograph that looks like a painting?  This photo was taken on the mountain peak between Cherokee North Carolina looking back toward Tennessee.

More Smokey Mountains on the left.  The photo on the right was taken on Hwy 19, on the way to Cherokee North Carolina.  The view is looking back over Tennessee thus the Tennesse Clasification!

Cades cove one fall afternoon late.  Cades Cove is a part of the Great Smokey Mountain Park.  It is a medow that used to be jointly used by settlers there.  The park took over the settlers land over the years.  There you will still find cabins. barns, churchs and cemitaries. You can drive around a loop of road in the medow and you will spot deer and black bear roaming free.

This is the Walnut Street bridge in Chattanooga Tennessee.  This is a 1980 photo, one of my oldest and one of my best photos.  The veiw cannot be seen today as in the photo because there is a new Veterans bridge just behind this bridge.  This bridge is now a foot traffic bridge that has special events scheduled through out the year and connects North Chattanooga with the major part of the city.  There are shops and a Coolidge park at the north end and the Chattanooga Aquarium and other shops at the south end.
