~Top of the World~

Clingman’s Dome in the Great Smokey Mountains. I was standing in Tennessee when I shot this, but right on the line and this scene is actually North Carolina. The view from here makes you feel like you have left the Earth and are hovering above it…..

There is a nice hike from here to the Dome, about a mile, and nice pavement to walk on. the Appalacian Trail also goes through this area for serious Hikers!

    Not only a nice photo but a special moment, Clingmans Dome always has something wonderful to offer, even if you don’t take a single picture.

    INCREDIBLE!! Your composition and exposure in this image are truly incedible, producing an image that would fit perfectly into National Geographic. Catching the low-angle sun makes it sooooo dramatic… another favorite. I just HAVE TO add you to my watchlist :)
