1st time flying the #drone at night. The fountain in downtown #McMinnville seemed like a good landmark to try out. #instagramtennessee #madeintn #ILoveTheNight #dji #mavicpro #djimavicpro (at McMinnville, Tennessee)

Once Around. From yesterday's #hike in the #Smokies. Always nice to look down, see the clouds roll by and a plane ticket not be involved. :) #gsmnp #instagramtennessee #getoutsidetn #greatsmokymountains #findyourpark #friendsofthesmokies #hiking #hikerchat #nationalpark #nashvilleexplorersclub (at Great Smoky Mountains National Park)

Big World. Another photo of the young couple I ran into the other day in #WhiteCounty #Tennessee.

"I've had years of cramped up city life" Rocky Top in the #smokies. Yep, THAT rocky top. #instagramtennessee #gsmnp #friendsofthesmokies #getoutsidetn #greatsmokymountains #tennesseeisbeautiful #weshowtennessee #onlytennisee #livelocallytn #nashvilleexplorersclub #madeintn #getoutside #getoutdoors #findyourpark #nationalpark (at Great Smoky Mountains National Park)

Strangers In Paradise. Yesterday I was in #WhiteCounty shooting a timelapse when this couple stopped and asked me to take some shots of them in the field where I was set up. Yep, the #Tennessee landscape will do that to you, and the #UpperCumberland in particular. #LostCreek #getoutside #getoutdoors #getoutsidetn #madeintn #tn #instagramtennessee #onlytennisee #tennesseeisbeautiful (at Sparta, Tennessee)

Blast Off. It may look like a rocket out of a #Steampunk story, But this is a section of the Carrie Blast Furnace in Rankin PA. 100 ft high, built in 1907, #abandoned in 1978. A reminder of the USA's once strong steel industry. #pa #pennsylvania #abanondedplaces #abandon_seekers #SeeWhatIDidThere #abanonded_junkies (at Rankin, Pennsylvania)
