Why do I do it? Call me crazy, but I just want more people to have a look at my SmokyPhotos website. My advertisers and I pay all of the expenses. Everything on this site is my own original work, so it was quite an undertaking. If you can help me by adding a link from your site to SmokyPhotos or if you wish to offer any constructive criticism, please email! Also, please help the Park by becoming a member of the Friends of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This organization is dedicated to the preservation of the Smokies. Oh, and tell them that Richard at SmokyPhotos sent you!
