More sky beauty - in the east

In my last post, I showed you the view from the Tower deck at Smoky Mountain Tower looking west.  After taking that picture, I turned around (to the east) to go back inside.  This is what greeted me, coming up through the trees:

Okay, it wasn't really that close.  But it was that beautiful!  I listened carefully to see if I could hear any howling.  But all I heard was the sound of a very gentle breeze blowing through the trees.

This picture of the moon - and our 'afterglow' picture before - are just two examples of the beauty we find all around us in Gatlinburg.  That's why we love going there, and why we want to share it with all our friends.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a beautiful moonlit night.

Beauty in the skies of Gatlinburg

When we were in Gatlinburg a couple of weeks ago to do our Christmas decorating, we just happened to go up to the Tower deck at Smoky Mountain Tower at the right time.  This is what we saw:

This is the view looking west toward Ober Gatlinburg.  Isn't it amazing how God used two planes flying at high altitude to put a cross in the sky?!

No doubt about it - Gatlinburg is sure a beautiful place.  In our next post, we'll show you what we found when we looked the other direction.
