Newfound Gap at Sunrise

All four of these photographs were taken at Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in southeast USA. They were taken between 6:37AM and 6:50AM on October 22, 2008.

You can see where the park got the nicknames of the Smokies and the Blue Ridges.

These photographs were taken this past Monday morning at Newfound Gap in the Smokey Mountain National Park.

The colors are beautiful, but I don't think they are at their peak yet.
