Earlier this month Betsy and I got up before dawn so we could see some of the autumn color of the Smokies in the morning light. It was cloudy overnight, but the sky was expected to clear during the day. The clouds were still brushing the mountain tops, but the light was breaking through the clouds when we arrived at this overlook on the Gatlinburg Bypass.

Nad górami jest jasno, dlatego tak wyraźnie widać ich szczyty :-). Pozdrawiam
The clouds were brushing the mountain tops.
What if we are at the top of the mountain?
to answer rainfield when at the top of the mountain, it is like walking in fog, we used to drive up and watch as the clouds got closer and closer. right george?
Just beautiful!
Oh, this photo gives me such a heart pang for the mountains....gorgeous.
Even with the clouds or perhaps because of them,this is a lovely scene.
astounding with the clouds rolling in.
Wonder what they are bringing in lol
A beautiful morning. I like the landscape
Glad those clouds just made an appearance, but left you to have great day.
Such an interesting sky over the mountain! Opposing forces!
Great moody sky there George.
Grand shot.
I see that Sandra already answered Rainfield, but I happen to think that the clouds would carry a person off, and you could be stuck up in the stratosphere until the next downpour. People should avoid contact with brushing clouds.
Seriously though, that's a nice morning photo. I like sleeping too much to catch many morning images.
I'm glad I enlarged this photo so I could see more. Lovely early morning shot!
It is amazing how many different, lovely sights you can see in the early morning hours. My problem just cannot get up that early to enjoy.
Beautiful! You captured amny different colors and textures!

A romantic moment!
the cloud looks dark but somehow refreshing to lighten up the day.
Oh what beautiful shots you and Betsy always find. I was in the mountains yesterday and they seemed to me to be at their peak in fall colors.
God's beauty all around!
Beautiful shot--the fall color in the foreground and lovely mountains and "smokie" sky in the background. Very, very nice. have a great weekend. Mickie ;)

A fantastic shot of one of my favorite places! I used to live right on Ski Mountain Rd. and didn't even have to get out of bed to see Mount LeConte.
