Long-exposure colour photograph of the Little River in the Great Smoky Mountains. Silky water glides over rounded boulders while the dawn sky streaks in soft bands of purple and blue. Forested slopes rise deep and misty in the distance, their ridgelines dissolving into haze. The slow shutter transforms the current into smooth ribbons of light, giving the scene a calm, meditative mood. A serene statement piece for lovers of mountain rivers and quiet morning light.
