Tennessee is known for its mountains and valleys, for its stunning Cumberland Plateau and the blue rivers that criss-cross the state. Still, sometimes you have to look towards the sky for a bit of beauty. It’s an expansive beauty, one that paints the world all colors of yellow, purple, pink and orange from one side of the world to the next.
