Rockwood, Tennessee



These are a couple of my 35mm slides from the old days.

The upper photo is of my Father in Law raking and burning leaves at his mother's house in Rockwood, Tennessee. It's in east Tennessee between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Her house is a pretty little house on a hill. Of course, more often than not, you're put to work when you go there.

The bottom one is of anntenae on top of a mountain overlooking Rockwood. There's a small park and also a fire tower up there and is a wonderful place to go see the sunrise. This is therefore another rare bit of proof that I've gotten up and out before sunrise.

Blue Tennessee Sky



These are a couple of my scans of some of my old 35mm slides.

These were taken in late November of 1983 in the mountains of east Tennessee near the little town of Rockwood.

I've always liked them because of how blue the sky was. A fresh cold front had just moved through and carried all of the haze away and left the sky very clear and blue.
