here in townsend like any other place in the US of A, we celebrated the fourth of july with fireworks. / This fireworks show was actually done in a small community that is within the town, area called Big Valley. / Our town fireworks were done on friday night on the fourth, and they had their’s the next night. / I shot this using the “bulb” setting, which i have realized it’s something I need to practice on. It takes just the right timing to get all the light you can and then release the button just as the fireworks explode. there is alittle trial and error for using this method of shooting, especially when what you’re shooting is constantly changing / best if viewed larger :) Shot this in Manual Mode / using bulb setting / Focal length at 17mm / ISO of 1600 / Exposure time at 7 sec / Ev at 0 / F-stop at F11

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:

another shot of the fire my volunteer fire dept was putting out wednesday night..this is a old landmark that used to be a restaurant, then a river tubing company, the river tube company has been closed for two years now. this was the 4th time this building has been caught on fire, this time..its a goner, happy to say no firefighters were harmed / you could feel the heat off this thing from 25-30 foot away! but then after all died down, we all like to have frozen our “hoses” off!! temps got down below 30 degrees (F), and we were all soaked! / it was a real challenge, shooting this , because the ony light was from the fire, and the trucks, and i hand held camera for all of the shots / im happy to say out of 112 shot, i only deleted close to 10, if that here is the link to the local tv station that has put my shots on there http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=53827

in the little town i live in, townsend tn., we have this old timers bluegrass festival. / you will see people of all ages young and old, enjoying bluegrass and gospel music. you can see what the ” old days” were like with old tractors, old single engines running homemade ice cream machines, balers, all sorts of mechanical apperatis. / one of the things i love about the festival is how each little band forms their own circle, and just plays to whomever wants to stand around and listen. / there are fiddles, violins, cellos, basses, banjos, all sorts of musical instruments. / this one guy had what looks to be a guitar turned right side up, and picking it. / so something just said..shoot it..and i did :)

Ive been waiting and waiting to get this particular shot. I wanted the fog so thick the light’s beams would be the only thing coming down over the bike trail located here in Townsend. Many nights I have gone to check out the fog. We finally had some good fog night before last, so off I go, only to realize the light wont exactly shine as I have it pictured in my mind due to the way the light shade is built. So I am settling for this shot. Who knows maybe with thicker fog I can eventually get that shot I have been waiting for. Shot this in Manual Mode set on the Bulb setting. / Fstop set at F 6.3 / Focal Length at 80mm / Exposure time was at 1 sec / ISO was set at 200 / Exposure comp set at 0

Horses in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA. > Horses and mules have had a presence in the Cove for well over 150 years. They’ve pulled wagons, hay mowers, buggies, carts, sleds, and plows. Horseback riding is a thrill for visitors today, a necessity for the pioneers of Cades Cove. I love the quiet of the morning as the fog lifts over the valley. The horses seem so peaceful grazing on the valley floor.

to date, since i have been on the volunteer fire dept here in townsend, this was the hardest fire we have fought. this was richmont inn, located in laurel valley here in townsend, along a mountain side. this blaze literally wore us out. we fought it from 9:30pm til 6:10am, and then i had to return around 8:30am and fight it more til around 11am. i had already been up for over 24hrs. i was beat. there was one more call on this fire the next day, and again, a few of us showed up to “finish her off” / this was a task within itself, the inn was about 100foot from where we had to park our truck, and carry ALL of our gear down the mountain side to it. of course we started off at night, so having to watch your step along with carrying gear or a charged hose, was a challenge. / this shot along with 7 others will soon be published in 9-1-1 magazine, four from this fire..and three shots from the fire we had exactly one month to the day in january. two of the shots are already here on RB….”my volunteer job” and “battling the blaze”

last night (or tonite? havent been to bed yet) wednesday night! / our volunteer fire dept got a call about a old restaurant here in townsend (old landmark) had smoke coming out of it, the restaurant had been closed for years, and even tho a tubing company had taken it over (which has been closed for two years now), the locals still refer to it as the old restaurant / just as we got there, we could see the fire, and of course started doing our thing…putting it out / within 3-5 minutes the house was completely engulfed in flames, my first mission (believe it or not) was to put fire out, and of course thinking the whole time..man i need to get shots of this!! (yes, im addicted to photography), but as we had some backup come in, and it was my time to take a break…straight for the camera i went / and grabbed over a 100shots, going around the building / we were there getting this completely out to where it was safe to leave until 1am. / talk about a total rush, meanwhile feeling a sadness as a townsend landmark is now rubble this shot was published in the Knox News Sentinal on Jan. 25,2008 :) , Knoxville Tn’s largest newspaper.

instead of doing the usual smoky mountain autumn shot, figured it’s time to show off what millions that pass thru this area dont get to see as they head into the park. / this is along the backroads of my home town of townsend tn. / i am so glad this area hasnt been ruined as the gatlinburg, pigeon forge and seiverville side with many rental cabins, hotels, so many resturants you’re no longer hungry trying to decide where to eat, and all the commercialism that is on that side. / this is what the smoky mountains are all about. a peaceful and beautiful life, blending into the enviroment instead of ruining it. going to the local mom and pop resturant instead of supporting chains that are all around the world. / there is a hidden beauty in this area, and to see it, one must have a open mind and open eyes. i shot this in SS priority ( i always shoot in SS priority) at 1/125, F-stop at 11, ISO at 100, and exposure comp at -0.03, focus at 38mm

> The Cable Barn of the Cantilever design, Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA Large barns were common in Cades Cove because of the considerable number of transient and resident livestock. The loft of this one would hold many tons of hay and fodder. The large overhang sheltered many head of animals and sundry farm equipment, without posts to get in the way of traffic. Cantilever barns are nineteenth-century vernacular farm structures found principally in two East Tennessee counties, Sevier and Blount. Their characteristic feature is an overhang, or cantilever, which supports a large second-story loft atop one or more log cribs on the base story. In studies of mountain buildings made in the early 1960s, Henry Glassie identified these barns as characteristic of the southern highlands, indicating that they were found in North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia. In the 1980s fieldwork by Marian Moffett and Lawrence Wodehouse found only six cantilever barns in Virginia and another three in North Carolina. By contrast, 316 cantilever barns were located in East Tennessee, with 183 in Sevier County, 106 in Blount County, and the remaining twenty-seven scattered from Johnson to Bradley Counties. A cantilever barn usually has two log cribs, each measuring about twelve feet by eighteen feet and separated by a fourteen- to sixteen-foot driveway. The topmost logs of each crib extend eight to ten feet out to the barn’s sides, becoming the cantilevered primary supports for a whole series of long secondary cantilevers which run from front to back across the entire length of the barn. A heavy timber frame, aligned over the corners of the cribs and the outer ends of the cantilevers, supports eave beams and heavy purlins, which are the major structural features of the loft. Most barns have a gable roof. Lofts were originally used for storing hay, loaded conveniently from wagons pulled into the driveway between the cribs. Cribs were livestock pens, while the sheltered area under the overhanging loft provided space for storing equipment and grooming animals. Barns still in active use now tend to be used for drying burley tobacco. Most have concealed their distinctive structures behind later enclosures and extensions and so are not obvious from the roadside. Documentary evidence on these barns is very scarce. Most seem to have been built from 1870 to about 1915, by second- or third-generation settlers. Cantilever barns were constructed on self-sufficient farms, where accommodations for seed corn, feed, livestock, and equipment were basic needs. The unusual design may derive from German forebay barns in Pennsylvania, built into the hillside with an overhang along the out-facing side. Pioneer blockhouses in East Tennessee and elsewhere had modest overhangs on all four sides of the upper story, and these may have inspired the shape of later barns. Moffett and Wodehouse have hypothesized that the barns’ form was an invention, pulling together ideas from several sources into an original design that enjoyed local popularity for thirty to fifty years. Cantilever barns used readily available tools, materials, and construction techniques to meet practical needs. A rainy mountain climate with high humidity for much of the year makes protection from damp a continuing challenge, which this design meets nicely. Rain falling on a cantilever barn’s roof drips off the eaves at a distance well removed from the supporting cribs; the overhang protects both structure and livestock, while the space between the cribs works with the continuous vents in the upper loft walls to encourage air circulation, drying the loft’s contents.

this is another shot of the fire my FD fought last wednesday night, this building had been built back in 1940, it was a historical place known as Kinzel restaurant, the place had been sold a few years back and a river tubing company took over, that has been close for 2yrs now / this is an angle where a couple of guys were trying to calm those flames down, within 3-5 minutes after arriving to the scene, the whole building was engulfed in flames / when i wasnt holding the hose to fight this blaze, i was holding my camera :) / no one was hurt, but now the building is officially..history

Sparks Lane, Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA Mounted Print; / Framed Print: / Everytime I look at this image, I get a homesick feeling for the the Great Smoky Mountains of Eastern Tennessee. While I was there, I wished I never had to leave. Much like the words of the song “Country Roads” by John Denver. It truly is “almost heaven”. The whole time I was in the area I was reflecting back to another life many years ago, the way it must of been. “Life is old there, / Older than the trees…Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

This setting is along the backroads of Townsend, Tn. The peaceful side of the Smokies / The colors are rocking in my little hometown. So instead of heading into the park, again I decided to go on the backroads of home. / I thought about titling this shot, “it’s a cow’s life” lol / As I was laying on the hill to get the right angle, never thought about keeping an eye out of what is around me, imagine my surprize when I looked up and over to the side, I see a bull and a calf checking me out! Probably wondering, ok, what is this idiot doing, and why is he laying on our yard? lol I shot this in SS priorty, SS at 1/100, F-stop at 22, ISO at 200, Exposure comp at -0.07 and focal length at 28mm.
