 Men are a thousand times more intent on becoming rich than on acquiring culture, though it is quite certain that what a man is contributes more to his happiness than what he has. Schopenhauer Morning, It felt like a May day on LeConte. The high was 51. The low was 40. It was 41 and on the verge of a gray, blustery storm this morning at observation. Be prepared for some wet trails! i live as i live i intend to die likewise eyes pure, heart agape  Top photo: Tough life. Above: The sky felt such a rich shade of blue.  Cataloochee. The Cherokee had a flair for naming things.

Nice pic of sky and trees, JP! Love that deep blue sky that only elevation and thinner air can give, almost Maxfield Parrish-like! Yep, it's a weird winter, alright; last January, I was on the AT between Charlie's Bunion and Peck's Corner (Sawteeth), and it really was waist- to chest-deep in places, it took us all morning to get that far (thank God for snowshoes), finally had to do a 180 and call it a day, but that flawlessly blue sky with blindingly white snow everywhere... nothing better! Enjoy your day!

I love how clear the air is in the Smokys in the winter. You really can tell a difference in the air quality in your pictures.
I don't know if man gets rich or just trying to gain some sort of weatlh. Gets caught up in every day life and family and payments and sometimes they have a very hard time trying to capture some culture inbetween all of the hupla of trying to have money to enjoy all of it.
