From the Archives - Winter Tree

Winter Tree, Great Smoky Mts. National Park, NC  © Doug Hickok

There's something to be said about good old fashion film. This image was made on slide film about 22 years ago, and when I found it recently in my stacks of old slide boxes, I marveled at the color.
The film had captured the hues of the mountain light in the evening hour perfectly and still retained it!  I like the hint of orange (in the little leaf still clinging to the branch) against all that blue and purple. By the way, this photo is from the Great Smoky Mountains, one of my favorite places to visit. I've been going there since I was a kid back in the 1960's, and have made regular visits since then. And, you know, there's something to be said about good old favorite places too...
