Focusing on the Natural Beauty of the World Around Me

Welcome to McCorkle Photos!

This collection reflects my love for the outdoors, with much of it drawn from the Great Smoky Mountains, where I live, hike, and embrace the mountain life. Alongside these Smoky Mountain scenes, you’ll also find images from travels across the country—moments from vacations and adventures that may spark inspiration in your own soul.

My focus is on capturing the natural beauty that surrounds us every day. Through my lens, I strive to share a unique perspective—one that invites you to slow down, look closer, and journey with me into the landscapes, colors, and wonders that shape our world.

As you embark on the journey of finding your location to view the sunset, Kuwohi is the highest spot in the Smoky Mountains and offers a spectacular setting every time.

There are times when zooming in as far as you can, to see the sun, gives another viewpoint of how the sun is so powerful.

KUWOHI SUNSETS

When  the full Sun shines so bright, it is hard to see clear.  The yellows into orange is the brightest and most diffecut to see the roundness of the sun.

The clouds always bring drama to the sunset.  Here is a lenticular cloud over the mountain.

Landscape

The Great Smoky Mountains and the many places I’ve explored offer an endless variety of scenes and views—each filled with refreshing beauty and timeless inspiration.

Sunset

 

Few moments compare to the brilliance of sunrise and sunset—the ever-changing skies painted with dazzling colors that stir emotion and inspire the soul.

Waterfalls

With such a wide variety of views and experiences to take in, it’s easy to see why these places draw you in—inviting you to pause, rest, and appreciate their beauty.

From the tiniest insect to the mighty bear or elk, the wildlife here is truly remarkable. Take your time, look closely, and enjoy the view.

Forest

The forest whispers its secrets through the trees, each one connected to the earth and sharing its story. The question is—are we listening?

Flowers

Nature’s beauty reveals itself in countless shapes, sizes, and colors. Each delicate and radiant detail offers a reason to slow down and simply enjoy.
