A clear November day in the Cades Cove area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
This slide show emphasizes the trees without the budding spring greenery or the beautiful fall colors. Absent the leaves, we can see the underlying structure of the tress, which is a beautiful thing.

There is no way to capture the Cades Cove experience "in a box". Even IMAX would still pale to the view from a bicycle.
I have experimented with an Acrobat slide show that looks pretty decent but it gets pretty big pretty fast. I have posted a radically trimmed version of it here.

I got to spend some of Friday bonding with nature. I found a new and even more delightful spot to sit beside the Tremont Creek and commune with the Rhododendrons. After the sun dipped below the ridge I hied off to Cades Cove to watch the sun set and experience the Smoky Mountain alpenglow, such as it is.
On my way back to the car I was drafted to take a photo of a group of young East Indian tourists. They were fascinated by the traffic sign with the two-way arrows. Is there some symbolism I'm missing?
YouTube video doesn't do this kind of thing justice.

I'd rather be cycling.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but to see it in person is indescribable.

We biked up the 4 mile West Prong / Tremont road. Great day out.
