This is the Middle Prong of Little River, located in the Tremont area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee.

The leaves had been at peak color earlier in the week but a strong rainstorm removed a great deal of them the day before I captured this picture. Still, I thought this was a beautiful lively stream to perk up the mood of this wet, foggy afternoon.

After photographing this my wife and I sat on the wet ground and enjoyed a sandwich and drink while listening to the stream pass by and relaxing before moving on.
