Serene autumn foliage of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia & West Virginia at it's best...
Stellar multidimensional effect... Epic illusion of three demonstrations in a two dimensional rendering....

Warm dominate Reds in foreground, recessive forest Conifer Green in mid-ground and the distal haze background.
Many acres of this pristine wilderness was lost to bituminous coal extraction i.e. Strip Mined and then later reclaimed.
With the endless excessive thirst for "Cheap Energy" petroleum wells replaced the rape of the Smoky Mountains...

Now it's the The Permian Basin's oil-and-gas-producing of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico.fueling the exploitation of the South West wilderness... much of which is arid and too hostile an environment for human habitation...

Yet still wishing I could go back to those beautiful Smoky Mountains

Paradise Muhlenberg Tennessee (made famous by John Prine)
And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?

What stills, there are no stills there!!!! LOL. My dad ran moonshine back then. He had too. He was the oldest off 9 kids and my grandpa was in a mental institution, I never got to see him, I think back now and am so sorry for that. They would have never made it without the money he made making and running shine. Thanks BE SAFE!!

A lot of families survived that way.

Ninety years ago (give or take), it could have been the smoke from the stills.
