No visit to Great Smoky National Park is complete without the side trip to the top of Clingman's Dome. At the top of this mountain, a short hike from the parking lot, is an unique observation tower with a long spiraling elevated ramp. On a clear day, you can see something seven states from the tower, but the mountain top is more often than not in the clouds. Even when it's fogged in, the scene is anything but boring. All photographs taken with the OM-2S, Fujichrome 50 and the Zuiko 24mm F2.8 or 28 F3.5 lenses.

 Sun burning through the fog

This photograph was taken near the top of the ramp, looking back towards the sun. The clouds had just thinned enough for the sun to become visible.
