Still plenty of snow at Newfound Gap. The road from Gatlinburg to the top of the Smoky Mountains has been closed a lot this winter, but it was open on Saturday, February 20th when I took this picture.

Lots of people were up there hiking, frolicking, and sliding around with their children.

I pulled over on the way down the Newfound Gap road to take some icicle photos. The one below is a composite of two images … one in focus and the other with the camera moved up and down during exposure to create a vertical blur.
