The white waters of the Nantahala River rush through the Nantahala National Forest. The cool mist, fresh air and excitement of the rafters made this a wonderful stop on my trip to the Great Smokey Mountains.

Mingus Mill is an old water driven mill near the Oconaluftee Visitor’s Center in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. The setting evokes a sense of peace and history.

I love photographing old barns. Hundreds of barns advertising Rock City may be seen along country highways in the South. The kudzu vines and weathered appearance of this barn give it character.
During a recent visit to the Great Smokey Mountains, the setting sun tinted the overcast skies with tinges of orange, and cast a golden glow across the valley. This area is located near the Newfound Gap parking area.
