Description
Driving into Gatlinburg Tennessee one of the first attractions you would have noticed was a charming chapel set against a backdrop of big leafy trees. I say would have because the wildfire of November 29th 2016 burned it to the ground. Wind gusts of 70 mph fanned flames in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park destroying thousands of homes and businesses and killing 14 people. This was one of the most popular chapels in the area sometimes called Cupids Chapel of Love and was a southern alternative to the far more distant and glitzy Las Vegas. Folks came from adjoining states to exchange vows or to remake them. The people of Gatlinburg are rebounding and a recent visit there confirmed it. More of my work from Tennessee can be viewed in my collection by the same name here in FAA.

A little bit of mystery and intrigue, the peaceful chapel set among the trees, waving and blowing in the wind.
