Veil of the Smokies

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Delicate strands of fog drift through a quiet Smoky Mountain forest, weaving through the trees like a living veil. The muted light of morning softens the rugged landscape, revealing the mystery and serenity that give this region its name. Here, the air moves slowly—carrying with it a timeless sense of stillness and reverence. Photo © copyright by Joseph Rossbach.
