Moods of the Smokies
by Brian Schrayer
I'm not sure if this will have broad appeal or not. This image captures the more subtle beauty of the Smokies. After all, mist and fog are a big part of what makes the Smokies...well...smoky. I captured this image in the morning along the Foothills Parkway. I was drawn to the way that the fog moved in among the hillsides. There was a quiet stillness to this scene on this morning. Moments later, rain would move in so I headed to the waterfall that I captured in my previous post. I wanted to capture the more subtle and quiet beauty of this scene. The subtle blue tonality is intentional. I remember the clouds having some blue tones and I think it helps sets the mood for the image.
