10/24/06 - Smoky Mountain Stream

Still playing catch up after a week in the Smokies with no internet connection.
This is one of the many, many streams in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I spent an entire day stopping at every roadside pulloff looking for the elusive fall color reflected in cascading water - no luck after the servere wind storm (100 mph) which seems to have stripped much of the colorful foliage. This is about as good as I could find; unfortunately it didn't lend itself to fall color reflections.
My LL Bean water proof boots got a workout as I took dozens of shots standing in cascades (and soaked the bottom of my Photo-vest while sitting on a rock in midstream without realizing that the vest was in the water). I'm thankful that none of the slippery rocks took me down.

Ed, good work nonetheless. I'm sorry that the weather let you down. I was hoping for a beutiful fall day in the Smokie myself next week. I think that you got a great shot there!
