“Autumn”

I am still posting images from my vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  I cannot describe how beautiful the change of colors were here in Tennessee and western North Carolina.   Gatlinburg is the main town and right on main street at light #8 is the start of the “Roaring Forks Motor Nature Trail”.  It is a beautiful six mile  one way loop that is a photographers  dream come true.  A guide  booklet can be purchased  for $1 at the park visitors centers.  The booklet said one could complete the loop in an hour or so.  My wife and I spent the whole afternoon  looking at all the scenic overviews and old early 19th century farm houses.   If you ever go to the Smoky’s don’t miss this route.

Very little PP was done to this shot in Nikon Capture NX-2.
