One of the best threads of the year IMO. Looks like you were busy on the vacation.

Thanks all!

We didn't see a cloud for 4 straight days and partly cloudy the other 3. Fall color was near peak and wildlife was everywhere - I walked to within 5 feet of deer and 20 feet of the bull elk. A coyote greeted me from about 10 feet as I came from the restroom in Cade's Cove, but I didn't have my camera.

Really great pics, beautiful area, you must have enjoyed your vacation very much in a gorgeous setting like that.

The pics are so nice I don't mind all the scrolling to see them all. ;)

Excellent pics ERG, I tried to take the 'road pics' and some of the local farm structures, but my wife refused for me stop and pull over lol. They had people shooting guns, target practice in there backyard lol, scared that I may get shot hehe. The farm, lake, and 'road' pics does it for me, excellent

Also, we didn't see any bears, but we did smell one during our guided hikes, which we weren't allowed to bring DSLR's or 'expensive' looking equipment because of liability or some crap.

This is the only wildlife pics I got

These are amazing. Everything is great on them. What camera/lens set up did you use? Stunning photos. I feel like I'm there.

I'm thinking all you assholes need to stop posting amazing pictures of the Smoky Mountains. Haha. Jk. Very nice work. I love all of them. Especially the fourth one down! :love:

<--Also super jealous. I haven't been up there in years!

i like the road pictures a lot, i think it would look really cool to see a car sliding at a serious angle through those curves. to have like that little piece of chaos in the middle of such a peaceful setting seems interesting to me.
