Alpine Meadows

This is a shot at the North Carolina / Tennessee state line looking up into the meadows at Carver's Gap.

Here is the original shot to compare with my saturation version.  Remember... I play with photos to push, stretch, test and learn...  so this doesn't necessarily make the photo better in my opinion, or ruin it.  It is just a different presentation.  I love the artistic freedom and creative variance I control.  

It's a power trip over the viewer.  ;)

Roan Mountain, Tennessee 

Allison and I were out on a drive one afternoon near the state line of North Carolina and Tennessee.  We came across a small and old graveyard fence off at the edge of the woods.  It was ordinary in most every way  for these small plots in rural areas.  We saw the same three or four family names repeated on headstones going back 100 years.  There was the one set of stones that perplexed us a good bit.  These were side by side and offered no explanation.  To clarify the dates here...

Sept 17, 1922  -  Dec 24, 1922

Sept 17, 1922  -  Sept 19, 1922
