I went to The Great Smokey Mountain National Park on 09/10/2009 and was able to get several videos and photos of beautiful scenery and sites. I hope that everyone will view and enjoy my videos and please rate them as I have tried very hard to get the best views.
Enjoy this last video of my trip to The Great Smokey Mountain National Park! It is the setting of the sun at Clingman's Dome. Very Beautiful!

The tiny island of Sark in the English Channel, just became the world's newest democracy. The island was the last remaining feudal system in the West. But under pressure from the UK, the island is about to scrap its old ways in favour of modern democracy.
