Just returned from the Smokey’s. This year I made the trip a family affair. I Invited the In-laws to join us for a few days of fun and relaxation . Initially, I had planned to spend a significant amount of time roaming the hills looking for good photo ops, but as it turned out the fall colors had not quite kicked in yet. I made an early run up to Clingman’s Dome on the first morning after our arrival. A quick cup of coffee and a nutty-butty and of I went. I can normally make the trip up the mountain in under thirty minutes but on this day the fog was thick and I had to feel my way up. Arriving at the summit it was still shrouded in clouds and as normal there was already a contingent of other photogs already there, all looking to the east. You never know how the sunrise will turn out all you ever know is that it happens rapidly. I made a few images and then worked my way back to the cabin, only stopping at a few locations to make a few more images.
The trip was not a complete bust. I had a great time spending time with my family and my in-laws. The cabin was decked out. It included a pool table, an air hockey table, and arcade table. We had an out door hut tub with a great view of the mountains. A fridge full of beer and great food. I can’t complain. These are just a few of the pics I took.
