The photographer writes, “Clouds seen from Chestnut Bald on the Tennessee-North Carolina state line, about half a mile west of Hall’s Cabin site. The clouds are ‘cirrus’ or a ‘mare’s tail’ and are at an altitude of 5 or 6 miles. They were seen from an altitude of about 4500 feet.” The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
