I've been fascinated by ferns for years, and have made a number of attempts at a fern photograph, trying to
capture their delicacy and intricacy.  This shot is from the Smokies, along the "Road to Nowhere", a trans-park
road started, but not finished, intended to replace NC 288, a gravel road now deep under the waters of Fontana
Lake.  I would have been a second road across the park, connecting Bryson City and Fontana dam.  It was
stopped for a variety of reasons: money, the ecology of the area, and politics among them.
The existing miles of the road are lightly traveled, and you can stop most anywhere without creating traffic
problems.  These delicate ferns grow right along the side of the road in several spots.
Sizes
As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a
white mat.  If you would like
to order unframed prints,
go to the "Purchase" page
for pricing.
