The Great Smoky Mountains National Park offer many photographic opportunities, as many of the trails follow small rocky streams surrounded by colorful foliage. On this outing, multiple rainy days created good conditions for capturing the colors of fall and beautiful cascading waterfalls in the streams. Given the conditions, this turned out to be the focus of my images on this soggy, but enjoyable visit.
