Description
There are three historic churches remaining from the Appalachian settlement known as Cades Cove, located in the heart of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Originally, there was a fourth church, but all that remains of that one is a marker along Hyatt Lane designating the spot where the church once stood. This image depicts the Missionary Baptist Church in the height of the fall season. I love how the vivid fall colors hug the church in this composition, with the backdrop of a gorgeous October sky. The day that I took this picture, there was a gospel bluegrass group singing inside, so the strains of music filled the air as I moved around the building, trying to come up with the best composition for the shot. Now every time I see this image, it brings back the fond memory of being out in the Smokies on this wonderful fall day and enjoying the bluegrass harmony as I photographed.
