Valley of Fog: Cherokee National Forest, June 2007 Taken from one of the overlooks facing west, the entire Tennessee Valley seems to be shrouded in fog. Just barely visible in the distance is the Cumberland Plateau which, I think, is about 60 miles or so away. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)

Along the Way: Cherokee National Forest, June 2007 Another view of Ocoee Lake in the late afternoon. This one has less sky and more foreground. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)

Low Levels: Cherokee National Forest, June 2007 Water cascades down Benton Falls. I suspect that the water flow is so slight due to the drought in the Southeastern U.S. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)

Top of the Falls: Cherokee National Forest, June 2007 The trail to Benton Falls passes by the top of the waterfall before descending to the base of the falls. Even though the waterfall is only about 65 feet high, it was still a bit unnerving standing at the top so close to the edge. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)
