Sun in Your Eyes

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, looking north from Clingman's Dome into Tennessee

Title is from Above and Beyond's electronic classic

More beauty at Clingman's Dome. That may look like a river on the right, but the dome is over 6,600 feet (2,010 m) elevation, and those are low lying clouds which have formed a visual river in the valley below. The Smokies are known for their often and rapidly changing cloud formations which can make for some amazing photography.

Great Smokies Mountains National Park is a worthwhile experience if done right, but warning to you, if done wrong (say, trying to get through Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg anytime close to rush hour - when you will be stuck in traffic and rush to nowhere...) can be a trying experience. Plan ahead, wisely. And if you do go, plan on sunrise and sunset at Clingman's Dome.
