This photograph came to me as a gift from the grandson of Carlos Campbell. Campbell was a great proponent of the idea that the high country between Sevierville and the Cherokee Reservation should be somehow protected from commercial development, a idea which would ultimately become The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Campbell toured with printed examples of his photography to show local residents and national dignitaries the rare beauty of the southern mountains. His work, along with such figures as Horace Kephart, helped to motivate both North Carolina and Tennessee legislators to support the development of the Park. As shown on the reverse of the image, this was used in those presentations and is numbered as 380. I have another I’ll post at another time. The image itself depicts a farmer, and the caption reads: “Tennessee - Near Sevierville Sorghum is grown generall thought the valleys (foothills). Planted in rows as seen here, it is grown for making “molasses” — known as “the poor man’s sweet”. Sown broadcast or drilled in closer rows, it is often brown as fees for cattle and horses. Cutting cane (sorghum) on the far of L.A. Latham, Route 5, Sevierville, Tennessee. Great Smoky Mountains National Park region. October 2, 1934.” The park was officially created in June of the same year. A special thanks to Frank who gifted me this fine photograph. . . . . . . . #carloscampbell #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #blackandwhitephotography #gsmnp #sevierville #tennessee #photography #northcarolina #thesmokies #antiquephoto #sorghum #molasses #farming #knoxville #tn #nc #blackandwhite (at Sevierville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqoG0f3pjk8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Quick watercolor of the very real and unbelievably saturated colors of the fall out here at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. No exaggeration. I spent my art school years in Pittsburgh, but I don’t remember the autumns ever being quite this vivid. accessibility: A photo of a page in a Moleskine watercolor sketchbook of a watercolor sketch of a forest of trees in the fall against a pale blue sky. The trees are a striking orange, yellow, red, and green. The text below the sketch describes the scene next to swatches of paint. #Artist #ArtistsOnInstagram #ArtDaily #DailyArt #Artsy #Artstagram #InstaArt #ArtistsofInstagram #ArtCollector #TennesseeArtist #ChronicallyIllArtist #DisabledArtist #Sketchbook #SketchbookArist #Moleskine #Watercolor #Etchr #WinsorAndNewton #GreatSmokyMountains #GreatSmokyMountainsNationalPark #NationalPark #NationalParkArt @moleskine @moleskine_arts @winsorandnewton @greatsmokynps @nationalparkservice @etchr_lab (at Great Smoky Mountains National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClB32oougBn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dozens of miles of abandoned railroad beds leftover from the logging boom in the Great Smoky Mountains were converted into trails by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Many ruins and artifacts from the logging and CCC days can still be found along these trails. “Ramble On” discusses how the trail system in the Smokies (and other national parks) was developed: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTRVVRYT

On June 2, 2022, for my very close friend Justin Lee Howell's bachelor party we went on a hike. We were in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The name of the trail we took is called Rainbow Falls Trail. #rainbowfallstrail We were told this trial was only 2.6 miles, and it is one of most challenging trails at this national park. #rainbowfalls There are no words on earth to describe just how worn out, fatigued, weary, tired, and overwhelmed I was. I just wanted to quit going uphill on that trail. We were not even halfway on the trail, when I had it in my mind to just turn back around and quit. #gatlinburg But let me tell you something, "The moment when you want to quit, is the moment when you need to keep pushing." #gatlinburgtennessee I saw the most purest, beautiful and clearest water I have ever seen, all around this waterfall, at the very pinnacle of this whole entire trail. #gatlinburgtn The journey was more than worth it, even though my flesh wanted to turn around so bad. #waterfalls The point of the story: don't give up until you see what you have been waiting for. Make your journey, the suffering, pain, and struggle all worth it. It won't be worth it if you just give up, give in and go back to the mediocre you just came from. #chasingwaterfalls PS: Going down this trail was easy-peasy. Takeaway: "It's easier to go down a hill than up it, but the view is much better at the top." #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark 🔥YouTube/podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 FB/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap/TikTok for more🔥 Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

We drove through #CadesCove and saw a #bear 🐻 in a tree and then we got caught in a bear jam for another bear 🐻 getting rescued and relocated, the #yellowjackets 🐝 got him and he was going crazy, they had to tranquilize him, so they could brush off the yellow jackets and take him to another location, they said he had been a problem in Cades Cove lately anyway, that was sad 🥺🐻 #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg_CEcEuKho/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
