CADES COVE GOLDENROD

ISO 100, f/20, 1/5 second, 19mm

  Goldenrod runs rampant throughout Cades Cove. It looks more like a weed than a wildflower but is really quite beautiful when it grows in large masses like it does here.
  This shot was taken in between Sparks and Hyatt Lanes on the front part of the Scenic Loop in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The misty fog laying in front of the mountains just made us have to stop and shoot this vista. The Goldenrod made for a nice foreground.
