Richard has vividly captured the spirit of this "land of Smoke" from the rugged peaks to the valleys where clouds and moisture hover. Within the vast landscape, he reveals the solitude of a rain-drenched forest, the energy of water tumbling over rocks, the explosion of wildflowers in bloom, and the myriad wildlife species. Whether it’s in Cades Cove, a black bear perched in the trees, or the stillness of deer nestled in an early evening mist, the inhabitants of the park will mesmerize you.
