Cumberland Mountain State Park near Crossville is not a large park, but it does contain a beautiful lake, Byrd Lake.  One of our favorite activities at the park is to have a delicious buffet at the restaurant overlooking this lake.

Drawing from a Photo: Cumberland Mountain State Park

I'm still experimenting with the conversion of photographs into line drawings. Most of the time I prefer the photo, but I do find the drawings interesting. I guess that goes back to my complete lack of drawing talent.

When Betsy's youngest son came up for the day earlier this month, we took him to Cumberland Mountain State Park near Crossville for dinner. The seven arch bridge over the dam forming Lake Byrd is a distinguishing feature of this park. I like both the picture above and and the drawing made from it.
