From the Artist:

"Cherokee Indians referred to the mountains as KA-KOH-NA-GAS, meaning of

course the Blue. Knowing the science behind this natural phenomenon makes the

mountain’s blue appearance more wondrous even to scientists. Isoprene, which the

trees emit, protects themselves from excess heat on summer days. After isoprene

is released into the air it interacts with other molecules creating the distinctive

haze."
