View From Laurel Falls Trail--Great Smoky Mountains

This view from Laurel Falls trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park may be familiar to many of those who have hiked the 2.6 miles (total) to and from the falls. As I recall, it offered the best glimpse of the landscape through the foliage along the trail. I was using my digital camera for the first time on this trip, and I surprised myself with how well this image turned out. It was one of those “being in the right place at the right time” type of shots. I took a few photographs of the falls, and many photographs throughout the park, but none compared to this colorful scene.

breath taking view,& a nice mix of colours.
JKStanford replied

Thanks for the comment. The foliage is actually backlit since I was facing the setting sun and, hence, the vivid colors. Thank goodness for the clouds acting as a light filter, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten this great shot.
