On our trip to the Smoky Mountains last spring, Bill and I spent some time photographing the streams along Newfound Gap Road. We were amazed at the power of the water rushing down the mountains, and how green and lush all the vegetation was.
Here’s one of the streams

Further down the mountain, we came across a pair of streams that created a small pair of waterfalls as the streams joined together. We spent almost an hour photographing this one location.

At one point, the water created a small waterfall over some tree roots.

This was just a few of the streams we photographed last spring. We’re both still processing our photos from the trip – I’m sure as we work our way through the photos, I’ll be posting more photos of some of the streams.
All beautiful, Patty. First and last are perfect!
I really like the water movement your showing – ND filter?
These are really fantastic. Some of my favorite shots that you guys have put up.
Beautiful! I love the way the waterflow gets blurred and suggests the flow of the stream. Okay, now just testing myself. Is the top one Walker Camp Prong?

Unfortunately, I don’t know which stream it is. All I know is that it’s one of the ones along the main road from Newfound Gap down to Gatlinburg. I’m hoping to figure out which stream it is next spring when I get back to the Smokies. Where is Walker Camp Prong?
