For Dick



For eleven years my photography buddy, Dick, and I photographed in Cade Cove several times a month. I can’t guess how many times I had him stop the car so I could shoot this spot. I knew there was a composition there but each time, something was missing. The last time I had him stop, the light was perfect and this was the result.

Dick passed away this morning. I shall miss him.

‘This sublime view, with the slanting light accentuating the curves of the terrain is breathtaking.
Your pal, Dick, must have been by your side as you revisited this favourite scene, paying him homage on the day he passed A fine memorial to him. May he rest in peace.
God Bless.
