According to the GSMNP website, Newfound Gap Road between Gatlinburg, Tennessee and Cherokee, North Carolina "is the only route that completely traverses the Great Smoky Mountains National Park." Scenic overlooks along this drive offer spectacular views of the Smokies. The overlook at Newfound Gap, where this shot was made, is the highest point along this drive. It is also a place where you can stand on the dividing line between Tennessee and North Carolina.
Taken on a showery day at Wallagoot Gap. Many rocks now exposed where formerly there was a small beach with sand. In the past it has been possible to walk through the Gap to another small beach and at times onto a third beach.
Birling Gap is a coastal hamlet within the parish. It is situated on the Seven Sisters not far from Beachy Head and is owned by the National Trust. Coastal erosion has already removed some of the row of coastguard cottages built in 1878, but those that remain are still inhabited. There is a cafe, shop and visitor centre run by National Trust and a metal staircase leading down to the enclosed pebble beach and the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. In time, the houses are likely to be demolished due to the severe coastal erosion; the Government has concluded that the commercial value of the houses does not justify the construction of sea defences. If walkers are cut off at high tide, they can climb the ladder, which is replaced often, to Birling Gap.

The bridge will get you from point A to point B by going over the obstacle. If you find yourself knee deep then you missed the turn. You can see the alterations I have done going to an abstract but the part you do not see is there was a huge stick that poked up in the middle of the shot and ruined the bridge, in abstract it was quiet easy to erase the stick and bridge the gap in the bridge, hope you enjoy the spring crossover!
Restoration of Simmons Gap Mill on Ivy Creek along what used to be an old Indian Trail through the Blue Ridge Mountains. The trail later became a wagon trail for settlers traveling West over the eastern range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The mountains proved daunting for a group of Mennonites, a religious sect practicing modesty and simplicity, who chose to settle here, forming the still thriving Simmons Gap Mission. Since Virginia is on the Atlantic coast, it is sometimes hard to think of it as the gateway to the Old West, but it was.
Havinng a splashing time celebrating my umpteenth bath day in the company of my eldest granddaughter, back in 2004. Of course there were no masks in those "happy days".
Tip of the day :
In order to achieve this astonishing effect, you’ll need an olympic-size bathtub with loads of suds (or snow if you're into¹ snow bathing) and you’ll also need a beautiful granddaughter! Now if you happen to be a beautiful granddaughter, then you may be looking for a granddad but, not to worry, they’re two a penny² these days.
The picture was taken by her father who was 'filling the gap', so to speak! I just titivated it a bit and called it mine; so it's not exactly a selfie but every bit as good as. It is therefore signed Kittymax & Son, he took the photo and I salvaged it but don't tell him I said that for heaven's sake!
Zoom right in, on full screen, but don't fall in!
Scroll down the page a little to see the original, patriotic version: Red, White ans Blue! Perhaps a little too patriotic; hence the B&W.
Take great care and many, many thanks for calling,
Colin ...
¹ to be into something = aimer faire quelque chose
² to be two (or ten) a penny = courir les rues

The Gap is located in the Sydney suburb of Watsons Bay, and is formed by Sydney Sandstone. The Gap's warm yellow-brown colour is due to oxidation of the stone. There are various lookouts along this cliff, giving magnificent views of the coastline.
Quick visit to Birling Gap beach with Caroline.
No light, bright conditions.
Think it will look good as a print though.
A nice end to the day at Birling Gap. After this shot it all went downhill as the clouds completely obscured the sun.

The Gap Wallagoot Far South Coast NSW. There is a narrow gap here which opens to the ocean. The water was a yellowish and dark colour. This was because there was a lot of small, dark green pieces of seaweed being washed in and the LE shows them as dark patches. A short walk from the carpark and down some wooden steps. This day, no-one else on this tiny beach. 10 stop Lee filter and 0.9 soft grad.
i keep comming back to this panorama...the view acroos from the Roaches to the Cloud and then on out across the Cheshire Plain....

The Parowan Gap Petroglyphs are located about 9 miles west of Parowan, Utah and about 20 miles north of Cedar City. The site has a spectacular array of rock art etched onto numerous boulders and cliff faces on both sides of the gap from one end to the other. Due to its significance as an archeological resource the site was placed on the National Resister of Historic Places in 1969.

Hope you like it! And if you do, please leave a fave!
The classic view of Sycamore Gap just before sunset. Unfortunately I’ve just read that the tree has been vandalised and chopped down. Such a terrible end for an iconic tree in an iconic location.
