This shot sets the mood for the day, at least somewhat. You can see the frost covered trees. I waited for a lull in the wind, however, so it's hard to imagine how much the wind pelted flurries in my face and froze my finger tips as I tried to photograph the beautiful scenery. Still, I will not complain. I felt lucky to catch this type of weather since I was only in the Smokies for a few days. This was a wonderful, mostly overcast, freezing cold and windy day with lots of neat frost, fog, and snow at higher altitudes and lots of beautiful fall color at lower altitudes. I got this shot in the morning of Oct 23, 2006.
