I love this view of the Roan Mountain Area. This was taken from Jane Bald and is looking at Round Bald and Roan High Knob. Normally in June, the rhododendron bushes right in front here are covered in beautiful pink rhododendron flowers. I think I was a little late in a down year so I didn’t get to see many, but it’s still an amazing view.
I was so neat to stand up on Jane Bald and watch the clouds rolling in from the North Carolina side over to the Tennessee side. You can see the Appalachian trail in the photo coming down from Round Bald. It was such a beautiful morning to be up there!
You can purchase this photo HERE. Several others from East Tennessee are available there as well and more will be added soon.
So much is happening in this sky – amazing clouds, fog, color, even a rainbow. Just an awesome evening on Round Bald in the Roan Highlands
This is the Appalachian Trail at Carver’s Gap on the Tennessee/North Carolina state line. The night sky was full of so many stars up there! I would have shot a lot more up there at night if my son wasn’t so tired. I’ll have to make another trip somewhere similar to shoot more at night.
This is a single 30 second exposure, the foreground was “painted” using a flashlight. The orange color on the right is from a town, reflecting into the only clouds left in the sky that night.

This is the last bit of light from the sun before it set behind heavy clouds and mountains. I loved the light shining across the grassy balds of the Roan Highlands. This was taken from on top of Round Bald, the first bald you get to after starting north on the Appalachian Trail from Carvers Gap.
I just got back in town from a weekend on Roan Mountain in east Tennessee. My son and I camped and hiked on a few miles of the Appalachian Trail. This is Friday’s sunset, looking east from Round Bald towards Jane Bald and Grassy Ridge. I absolutely love this part of Tennessee. The views are amazing and no picture I can take will do it justice. On the left is Tennessee, on the right is North Carolina. I’ll have more to post from these locations in the next few days…
The title says it all 🙂
You can purchase this photo, and many others from my recent California trip, from my online store. View the gallery HERE
So how much longer can I continue to post photos from California? New people to this blog may think I’m a west coast photographer, so I may need to get out and shoot some good old fashioned Tennessee landscapes again soon.
This is photo is a shot of the famed Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. As we watched the sun shine onto large storm clouds in the east, a small rainbow appeared in the distance. This was taken the same evening as my other Yosemite sunset photo HERE
Could there be a time where a lighthouse is needed more? Actually, I’m not real sure it was very effective in this weather. I was standing pretty close to it (shot with a fairly wide angle, 24mm) and I could barely see the it. Any further away and it would have been completely concealed in the fog. Although I guess that with GPS and radars that lighthouses are not that important anymore.
Anyways, this is Pigeon Point Lighthouse in California. You can find it right on the coastal highway near Pescadero. This is a slightly different angle than what I posted previously.
Looking up at the California Redwoods in Muir Woods, just outside of San Francisco
