Young couple in love enjoying a sunset in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA. Other works in the Cades Cove Collection: About Cades Cove: Cades Cove (formally known as Tuckaleechee Cove) is found in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, USA. Cades Cove / was a working farm valley until the 1930’s when the National Park was formed. The Park Service has attempted to recreate the 19th century feel of this farming valley and preserve it for future generations. Before the first white settler arrived on the scene, Cades Cove had been a part of the Cherokee Indians’ domain. Abrams Creek and Abrams Falls are features named for a prominent Cherokee chief named “Old Abram” who at one time lived in a village at Chilhowee on the Little Tennessee River. According to tradition, Old Abram’s wife was named Kate, and Cades (Kate’s) Cove was named after her. Please enjoy these other images:

Snow Leopard / Endangered Species / Canon EOS 30D DSLR The Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia),sometimes known as the ounce, is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia from Afghanistan to Lake Baikal and eastern Tibet. The taxonomic position of this species has been subject to change. In the past, many taxonomists included the Snow Leopard in the genus Panthera, with several of the other largest felids, but later it was placed in its own genus, Uncia. However, a recent molecular study places the species firmly within the genus Panthera, although the exact position remains unclear.[3] Along with the Clouded Leopard, it represents an intermediate between so-called big cats and smaller species, as it cannot roar, despite possessing an incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone, which was thought to be essential in allowing the big cats to roar. However, new studies show that the ability to roar is due to other morphological features, especially of the larynx, which are absent in the Snow Leopard.[4] Well known for its beautiful fur, the Snow Leopard has a whitish-tan coat with ringed spots of dark, ashy-brown and rosettes of black. Its tail is heavy with fur and the bottom of its paws are covered with fur for protection against snow and cold. The life span of a Snow Leopard is normally 15–18 years, but in captivity they can live up to 20 years. Although the Snow Leopard is internationally regarded and legally protected as an endangered species, currently there exist no effective measures to stop poaching and loss of habitat in Jammu & Kashmir. The Snow Leopard population of Jammu & Kashmir has increasingly come under pressure as a result of poaching for furs, loss of habitat caused by deforestation and dam projects, and loss of food sources caused by similar environmental pressures. In both Pakistan and India-administered Jammu & Kashmir, this threat to the Snow Leopard has developed. The armed conflict of the last 8 years in Jammu & Kashmir has further exacerbated this problem as the soldiers and armed resistance groups have shown little regard for species preservation. The instability has also allowed for an illegal trade of furs. A 1994 raid on a group of traders in Srinagar that hauled more than $1 million worth of furs and garments made from 1,366 of the world’s most endangered wild cats, tigers, snow and clouded leopards and Bengal tigers indicated that the lack of effective measures to preserve endangered species has deteriorated further as a result of the 8 year old conflict. Cases like these reveal that the poaching of wildlife in Jammu & Kashmir’s forests and in other Himalayan regions has returned with a vengeance that threatens some of the world’s most beautiful and exotic animals after a period of curtailment of such poaching in recent decades. Under this situation, the Snow Leopard is directly threatened. K.E.W.A. advocates that strict conservation measures be put in place in Pakistan and India-administered Jammu & Kashmir. Habitat protection, captive breeding, stiff penalties for poachers and international buyers of illegal furs, and public education must all be a part of such an undertaking to save the Snow Leopard. But such an effort would require major involvement of international organizations. The rarest and most beautiful of the great cats, the snow leopard…is wary and elusive to a magical degree, and so well camouflaged in the places it chooses to lie that one can stare straight at it from yards away and fail to see it. Yet the snow leopard’s talent for invisibility has not kept it safely out of the sights of hunters, who continue to kill the cat for its “coat of pale misty gray, with black rosettes that are clouded by the depth of the rich fur”. Elusiveness also has done little to help the snow leopard cope successfully with an ever-increasing influx of tourists, sheep herders, dam-builders, and other humans eager to make use of the spectacular landscape. The result is that the snow leopard, despite its remote home high in the Himalayas, has become one of the most endangered of the large cats.

The life span of a Snow Leopard is normally 15–18 years, but in captivity they can live up to 20 years. The total estimated wild population of the Snow Leopard is between 4,000 and 7,500 individuals (see table below). In addition, there are 600-700 animals in zoos around the world. Protected Areas: Chitral Gol National Park, in the NWFP, Pakistan. / Hemis National Park, in east Ladakh, India. / Khunjerab National Park, Northern Areas, Pakistan. / Nanda Devi National Park, in state of Uttarakhand, India, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.[9] / Qomolangma National Nature Preserve, Tibet, China.[10] / Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.[11] / Tumor Feng Nature Reserve, western Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, China.[12] / Valley of Flowers National Park, Uttaranchal, India, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site. / Shey-Phoksundo National Park, Dolpa, Nepal. / Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve,Baglung, Nepal. / Annapurna Conservation Area, Western Nepal. / Jigme Dorji National Park, Bhutan / Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park, Mongolia / Ubsunur Hollow, on the territorial border of Mongolia and the Republic of Tuva / Much progress has been made in securing the survival of the snow leopard, with snow leopards being successfully bred in captivity. The animals usually give birth to 2 to 3 cubs in a litter, but can give birth to up to 7 in some cases.

Abstract photograph of trees reflected on moving water. / Taken on the Duck River at dusk; Henry Horton State Park, Tennessee. This abstract uses a little different technique in camera painting; rather than moving the camera to create the effect, I look for movement in nature and hold the camera steady during a slow exposure to capture the motion. I have also used this abstract as a background for my artwork Allow This image makes a great wall set with Sparkling Winter Garden / Copyright © Richard G.

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!

When my children were young we used to visit Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on our way to the Great Smoky Mountains. Our last trip through I decided I would do some paintings of the less picturesque aspect of our trip. . . painting images of the tourist trap nestled at the base of those beautiful mountains. Of course the kids love the painting because it sparks deep fond memories of our family trips together. After nearly two years of on and off painting on Beach House, it’s ready to debut.

I went to the Knoxville Zoo for the first time in November of 2008. It was the first time I had visited this zoo since I had moved to this area in 2000. / As I was shooting this bear, I could feel it’s pain. I felt it was so ironic that the native animal of this area was living in the enviroment it has to live in. So as I was shooting this shot, that is when the title came to my mind. It literally drove me crazy listening to people making sounds at it, and hitting the glass, I think I did well by not just going off on them, which is what I really wanted to do. / As much as I hate to say it, I wasnt impressed with the zoo’s set up for all the animals I viewed while I was there. Just hard to make a home with concrete walls, fake trees, and a blank surrounding. / Without a doubt, I have adapted quickly to shooting these animals in the wild, in their natural habitat. / I shot this thru the glass, after getting my shot ready for auto focus, I switched to manual so my lens wouldnt focus in on the glass as I hit the shutterbutton. / Shooting at an angle so the glare from behind me wouldnt reflect on the glass. I shot this in Shutterspeed (SS) mode / SS set at 1/160 / Fstop at F 5.6 / ISO at 400 / Focal length at 300mm / Exposure compensation at 0
