Smokey Mountains Mangalista River Ranch, Waynesville, North Carolina
Mist and memory hang thick over the Smoky Mountains, where ridgelines fade like old film and light moves slower than anywhere else on the East Coast. The Blue Ridge Parkway winds through it all—miles of asphalt wrapped in forest, fog, and the kind of silence that hums. This photo series isn’t about grand overlooks; it’s about the in-between moments—early fog, late light, and the stubborn beauty of a place that refuses to stay still.

I’m a computer engineer, musician, cyclist dabbling in photography. I’m not trying to sell you anything. All photos are my own.
