I’ve been thinking a lot about my favorite places recently and its no surprise that they are all places that would not exist if it weren’t for conservation efforts.
One place that I return to again and again is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. When I first started exploring further than my own state, GSMNP was my first big adventure. It was a bucket list location that soon became a year (and sometimes thrice or more yearly) location.
It was in the GSMNP that my photography found its direction and purpose.
To celebrate Earth Day, I’d like to share with you some of my favorite images from my Smoky Mountain adventures:
