47:365 Road


47:365 Road
This is Hyatt Lane in the Cades Cove area of the Great Smoky Mountains. My husband and I were on our bicycles and it was raining when we started. I had my camera in a plastic bag, and I only brought my wide angle lens because the conditions were just not good to bring everything. Just to the right of this picture, and just out of range, there is a whole herd of deer grazing. I saw deer, turkeys, squirrels, birds, you name it. Oh well! This is theme #262 Road.

Road shots always intrigue me. They lead you on to places you may not have seen before. And they tell you something about the people in the area as well. For instance, they value the life of a tree more than they do their inconvenience. Otherwise, the trees would have been cut down to make their road straight. It is nothing for them to take a small detour around the tree branches! Great shot and grand colors.

This is a beautiful road shot. I think it's been close to 26 years since I've been in Cades Cove' it still appears to be a beautiful spot! And I'm glad to hear the deer are still plentiful.

Beautiful photo - I wish I had a road like that to ride along. Thanks for the opportunity to experience it vicariously.

What can I say that hasn't been said? Everything a person would want in a landscape photo. I'd like to paint this scene....

This is a very dramatic shot. I'm sure the animals around were interesting, but as far as I'm concerned, this is great without the distraction!
