In August, 2009, the Tourism Development Authority (TDA) and Marketing Connections commissioned photographer extraordinaire, Tracy Turpen, for a 2-day shoot to combine the best of our area, the mountains and art, to be used to update the TDA's website and Transylvania County's brochures and collateral materials. Click on the links below to see her amazing photographs.
