Tremont's Fourth Annual Photo Contest Results
 |
| First Place: Seeing New in the Old Kathleen R. Wagner - Westerville,OH “The Reflection of the new growth of spring trees in the window of the Cades Cove cabin shows past and future at the same time.” |
 |
| Second Place: Water over the Wheel of Time Paul D. Ries - Salem,OR “This photo of fallen leaves caught in the wheel of the Cable Mill grist mill in Cades Cove reflects all three of my photographic passions – leaves, history, and water. The trees stand as silent witnesses to the passage of history in the Cove, yet they renew themselves every spring. Water is what brings life to the vegetation of the cove. In my backyard I have built a true life miniature to-scale version of this very mill.” |
 |
| Third Place: Shelf Fungi at Tremont Julie Tallman - Athens,GA “Walking the gravel road from the Tremont upper parking area down to the Tremont Institute, I discovered this ageless tall tree with an opening in it’s bark that provided an altar like area for a shelf fungi and ferns that combined for me age plus youth. The ferns are fresh and renew themselves every year. The fungi take more time to grow and extend themselves, like this grouping. The tree was there before the Park was established. In this one natural setting, the Park shows it’s past, present, and future possibilities in it’s plant life.” |

| Honorable Mention: Past Bloom, Future Flowers Jennifer Rowe - Brevard,NC “I found this little dandelion puff tucked in beside the road into Tremont. It was patiently waiting for a breeze to send its seeds out into the world so that this past bloom could live on in future flowers.” |
 |
| Honorable Mention: Reflections of the Future, Framed in the Past Jennifer Rogers - Franklin,NC “This picture was taken while on a field trip to Mingus Mill in the fall of 2007. The students were mesmerized by the workings of the mill and asked many questions. Most of the students seen are native Appalachians with their families inhabiting these mountains for generations.” |
 |
| Honorable Mention: “Past and Future” meet in memories of a favorite place Ronald W. Lebaube - Eureka,MO “Great Smoky Mountains National Park has always been a favorite vacation spot for our family. We have biked around Cades Cove many times and have enjoyed hiking in the park. Although it is strenuous, Chimney Tops trail is one our favorite hiking trails. In July of 1995, our family hiked to the top of Chimney Tops as we had done many times before. Nearly ten years later we returned to the same exact spot to relive special times together.” |
