Timeless
I have been here and seen the coming of man to my rivers. In my shadows have walked wildlife that no longer walk here. From my lofty peaks you can see for many miles. Once I stood higher than the far western mountains. I may have shifted and changed but I remain. My rivers are cold and my forest cool. From my bowels man has both feed himself and built his shelters. He has raped my slopes for my wood. Fought wars within me. I still survive. Mist still shroud my valleys. Flowers still shine their beauty for all to see. Come walk my paths an fish my streams. Stand on my peaks and walk my valleys. Loose yourself within yourself as your cares fade away when your with me. I am the Great Smoky Mountains, the Great Iron Mountains, Far Blue Mountains, the Sha-cona-ga. Most just call me the Smokies, and I remain.
And a quote from John Muir “The mountains, are fountains, not only of rivers and fertile soil, but of men

wow Gary… that is absolutely beautiful writing and photo.. I am so impressed with your passion for the mountains and wildlife within… you are a true person of the earth and for the earth… keep up the great work. More people need to hear about the history and see our beautiful land as it is now because our future is looking bleak.

These are some of THE MOST stunning and exquisite images of the Mountains I have ever seen. Can’t say enough about how much I love this series. You should try to get a book made…..from these!.

Gary, firstly, your words are exquisitely beautiful and touching.
Now, these photographs are jewels. For someone who paints and teaches beginners how to paint, these photographs prove exactly what is so hard to describe. Distance, perspective, dimension, light and shadow, tones and values. You are genious!!!

So beautifully presented; the layers in this composition are amazing Gary
