The Smokys is one of my favorite places to visit and it is nice to have this book to reflect on my past visits. The photographers have captured these places very well! Ill be watching for other books by the Mandrells.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent photography; mostly landscapes; mountains; streams and woods.Really does evoke the place rather well.By lyndonbrechtThis is primarily a book of photographs. There is some text; so-so in quality; with dedications that are a bit effusive. This husband and wife team appear to be well matched in their enthusiasm both for these mountains and for photography.The photographs are excellent. Most seem to be from the more difficult days of actual film and all that; and theyve been photographing the area for a long time. Most of the photos are scenes of landscape; woods and streams; with some nice shots of flowers and one very cool one of a salamander looking right out at the viewer; the first salamander Ive seen with a discernable personality. There are several of old structures that give something of a sense of the park having once been lived in.There are a lot of shots of riffles; rapids and falls; quite nicely done but a bit repetitive. Its hard to decide what stands out; because almost all are good. I think several ones of fall foliage are the best; though; with wonderful color. And also very good are some landscapes that are really mountain scapes; showing mountain after mountain that made me remember my one bit of hiking there long ago--the Smokies stay in your memory; its that kind of place.The book may appeal to anyone interested in the Smokies. Its not a deep book and theres not much text; but as the title says; its a visual journey.
