On the Way to Laurel Falls
Tennessee posts have previously been the domain of my Decaseconds co-author, but a recent visit to see him in Johnson City meant that I was able to photograph some of his regular haunts for myself. Our hike to Laurel Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains revealed some pretty spectacular natural settings.

That was a nice day for a stroll in the woods.

Not quite as dramatic as the upper falls. It’s hard to call them “falls” at all. There is a certain tranquility to them.

Upper Rock Creek Falls
The falls themselves aren’t the most impressive in the area but the cliffs surrounding them were really something.
