Newfound Gap Road (US-441) meanders through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park following the contours of several rivers to include this, the Oconaluftee River.

I was fortunate enough to drive through during the middle of the week while most U.S. schools were still in session, limiting the number of other tourists and travelers. This afforded me the opportunity to take in the serenity of nature and take pictures without too many people in the frame.

Part of the Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve, Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited National Park in the United States with well over 11 million visitors per year and is home to over 10,000 known species of plants and animals. The park also experiences higher levels of precipitation than nearly everywhere in the United States outside the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii and is home to one of the largest areas of deciduous, temperate old growth forest on the continent.

My goal has always been to capture moments that inspire me so that I can share them with others. I have been fortunate to have several selections of my work recognized in print and in competition. I am predominantly drawn to images of beautiful landscapes, glorious sunrises and sunsets, impressive cities, impressive architecture and feats of engineering, and awe-inspiring nature. I try to remain faithful to the moments I have experienced, with only 'natural' enhancements in post-processing, though you will also find monochromatic images here. I hope that the moments I share here speak to you. I am open to suggestions, ideas, and feedback you might have about future content offerings. Dan
