The Sinks

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.  Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Many places in the Smokies are easily-accessible by car, which means they are very popular during tourist season (which seems to be year-round nowadays).  The Sinks is one such place:  it’s a cascade with a pool right along the road.  The parking area is small, so it’s hard to get into it at times  But January, which is when I got this picture, can be a good time to visit if you just want to enjoy the beauty of our world.

I need to get up that way when I can catch better weather.

Sigh.

It is gorgeous and I am guessing you went on a not very cold day. Right now January here has been mighty windy, snowy and very cold.

What a beautiful capture, George. We were there once when kayakers were going over the falls and into the pool below. Fun to watch. Not interested in doing. :)

Terrific picture of the Sinks... Every single time we go there, it looks different from another time, due to the water levels...

Love, Wifey

Right by the road, this would be for me!! What's with the name? Is it because the pools resemble a full sink?

Hi George, have been side tracked and hadn't been blogging for a few year. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things again. I came to check out your photos, and am pleased to see you are still out and about, sharing these special places with all of us! Best wishes!
