Fall isn’t to be out done by Spring with all the new beginnings and shades of green. For a brief time it bursts into a splendor of warm color just before the dead of Winter.This is the Middle Prong Little River located in the Tremont section of the GSMNP Camera: Canon Rebel Xti… Lens: Canon 28-135mm…. / Focal Length: 44mm… Aperture Priority… / Shutter Speed: 1/2 s… Aperture: f/8… / ISO: 100… Tripod: Bogen…… Bias 0.0 EV… / Filters:Hoya Polarizer… Cable Release… / Format:RAW

Detail of the front door of The Tobacco Co. in Napier Napier in New Zealand is known as the art deco town. It was devastated by an earthquake in 1931 and what the quake didn’t destroy the fire that raged through the town afterwards did. They rebuilt the town in 2 years during the Depression, a remarkable feat. Being the 1930s it was done in the Art Deco style which they have preserved and still remains today. It’s a wonderful town. Loved it!

Fall is a wonderful time. Nature shows off some of her most beautiful colors. The air begins to cool and it becomes pleasant to be outside after the scorching summer. Most wildlife becomes more active with winter feeding and mating rituals. Fall is a fabulous time, so get out and enjoy. Take a hike or just find a quit place to relax, but get out and toss your cares to the wind….image taken from the Oconaluftee Valley Overlook on the NC side of Newfound Gap Rd.,GSMNP
The Little River Road is about 18 miles long. It runs between the Sugarland Visitors Center at the Gatlinburg entrance to the Smoky Mountains and the Wye in Townsend. Once you pass the road going to Elkmont Campground it snakes through the gorge along the sides of Little River. Its one of the more popular drives in the Smokies. Numerous pull offs offer unending possibilities to get out and explore the river. Fall colors can be spectacular. Along the route there is a picnic area, waterfalls, and hiking trails. The road may not be for the timid, not use to mountain roads. In some places you are on the edge of the river on one side and against a rock bluff on the other. It seems narrower than it looks and has room for motor homes to meet, so drive slow and enjoy. It is one of two ways to get to Cades Cove. From it you can also enjoy fly fishing, kayaking or just playing in the water. Tubers often dot the river on the Wye end in summer.

The landscape was bathed in a momentary deluge soaking everything in sight to soften reflections and deepen the flames of fall. Was it providence that drew my attention through the passenger car window as I passed? Such beauty by the roadside and so easily missed in the rainfall – but not to be overlooked today – so awe inspiring in its simplicity was this un-named cascade tumbling out of the forest. I count myself fortunate to have seen it, this living image quickening in the senses, never before quite as it was that day and never again to be repeated.
