Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…The cabin is almost completly surrounded by split-rail fence also……The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants. This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

Nice shot Gary… welcome back!
great story, and a beautiful place
Beautiful work, Gary! I like the composition a lot. Gorgeous lighting conditions; and you’re right, the dogwoods are just splendid. I sure wish I’d been able to be back there this year for the bloom and all. Take care, Amigo! Cheers! Chris
Beautiful work.
Beautiful shot of this lovely old piece of history Gary; well done!
A great shot of this classic cabin. Pure Appalachia!!! Your work and words are a PR for our mountains.
You’re so good at these shots, Gary. This is superb. Sheer magic!
This is awesome- Great detail in the cottage and I love the wood in the foreground
Well composed Gary! I think I want to shoot buildings and flowers when I’m there next month.
