Description
Taken in Cades Cove a part of the Great Smoky National Park, in Tennessee.
How did the Great Smoky Mountains National Park get its name? The Smokies are named for the blue mist that always seems to hover around the peaks and valleys. The Cherokee Indians called them shaconage, (shah-con-ah-jey) or "place of the blue smoke".
I tried to capture the blue mist or smoke of the mountains in this Autumn capture...
Thanks to you all for your comments to my photo below..

Very nice Lynell...chalk up another barn for your collection. Like the way you've captured the atmosphere created by the "blue smoke".
I feel the Smokies are the living heart of East Tennessee, the wellspring of it's character. This picture captures that feeling perfectly.
