Rain Cades Cove Great Smoky Mountains National Park

The good thing about water is it reflect objects in its environment. This small creek in Cades Cove is surrounded by trees that are at peak autumn color creating this wonderful warm palette. The rings form as the rain comes down. Using a shutter speed of 1/125 I was about to stop the rippling action of the water. I like to use a golf umbrella with the camera mounted on a tripod. I can stay dry along with my camera until the rain blows side ways and I guess it is time to seek shelter when that happens.
