The churches of Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are each special in their own way. The craftmanship is second to none. They are from another time and place, yet even today they speak to us and remind us what is important in life. Stop and visit a while, and be careful in the graveyards to stay on the paths out of respect to those who rest there. Some are distant cousins of mine.

Note: Reducing photos from full size of 20" x 30" to 4"x6" in size for display can cause the boards to look for a better word squiggly. At full size, I promise you the distortion goes away.
