Through the Trees by Debra Vanderlaan... At the highest overlook in the Chilhowee Recreation Area of Tennessee, these are the Appalachian Mountains in the Cherokee National Forest. The closest mountaintop in this image is Sugarloaf, a light misty fog settling on the valleys and mountain peaks. The lake below is Parksville Lake just below the Ocoee River Gorge. Captured late autumn, the beautiful hickory trees are ablaze in fall oranges and reds as the setting sun's rays peek around the trees.
