#582 The View From Clingmans Dome...
Hi everyone-
Today's were also shot at GSMNP in October. They are taken from the Clingmans Dome area. This is a cool spot to go as it might be the highest point in the park that you can reach easily. You drive most of the way and then walk the last half mile or so.
It is quite a walk though on a paved path pretty much uphill. The elevation gain is pretty good. I don't know what it was but judging by the people in various states of respiratory distress its a couple of hundred feet.
The area offers some great views and even though these were shot a few hours before sunset you can begin to see how this park got its name. I really enjoyed looking at the layers and layers of mountains you can see from this point.
Have a great day!

#575 Cree
Hi everyone-
We are enjoying another great fall day here in South Central Pennsylvania today. Beautiful crisp morning giving way to what appears to be another super day. I'll be spending the day raking leaves and working outside. I'm not sure how many of these days we really have left so I will be enjoying as much as possible.
So today's image was shot just before yesterdays were shot. This is one of the images taken from the precarious position I described in yesterday's post.
Cree was very happy she was getting her nails done and let me get a few cute images before the diva in her took over and wanted nothing to do with the camera...lol
Have a great day!

#532 Stormy Front

Hi everyone-
Well it's Thursday and that means its time for another Skywatch post!
Today's image was shot a few years ago along Montana's Rocky Mountain Front, west of Choteau.
In October there seems to be a lot of overcast days in this area. This of course was one of them But I set out to shoot some images anyway.
As it turns out there was a bit of a storm brewing and as I headed toward the mountains it began to push over and on tho the east.
Have a great Skywatch and dont forget to check out everyone else's images by clicking the link here:---> SKYWATCH

#520 Laura- Portfolio Shoot
HI everyone-
Hope you had a great week. Thanks for all of the skywatch comments yesterday. I really appreciate your feedback.
Today is going to be a quick post because I have to get out and get the grass cut before the rain comes in about an hour or so.
These images were shot of Laura last week in York. We traveled around the city and shot at a few locations. Nothing fancy, just available light and a few reflectors.
I hope you all have a great weekend!!
Oh and have a great day today!

#509 Gallatin Valley Milling Company

Hi everyone-
Well I finally have made it back to York, PA. A bit under duress but I was excited to get to see my girls and Tehya. I got home last night around 7, which wasn't so bad.
But back to work today! I normally like to have a few days to get back on EST but sometimes that doesn't work out so great.
Today's image is of an old mill near the town of Choteau, MT. For those of you who might be familiar with the area this mill is near Priest Butte and can be seen from Hwy. 89 just south of town.
In the future I'll be sharing some images from a shoot that Bryan Allen and myself did here with my little cousins. It was really cool.
Don't forget to check out the cool images on the blogs of everyone who participates in Skywatch Friday. Check them out by clicking here: -----> Skywatch Friday
Have a great day!!
