Smoky Mountains Rise Above Gatlinburg © William Britten use with permission only

You could get lost in the layers of this scene. Late afternoon, sun setting on the Smoky Mountains, the shadows enhancing the definition of the landscape. Taken from my newly-favored perch on top of the Space Needle in downtown Gatlinburg. I spent an hour up there last week all by myself, getting lost in the panorama around me.

The image is looking east up the Roaring Fork area of the Smokies. Two images stitched together, rendered in black and white with a soft selenium tone applied.

The William Britten Gallery out on Glades Rd in the Morning Mist Village in Gatlinburg is open most of the winter, although Monday and Tuesday are often days when I too am miles away.
