This morning
Well I made it up Round Bald wondering the whole time how many times I'd fall going back down.... the trail was 99% ice. I walked where I could in the grass beside the trail. Made it through the first group of trees and was greeted with what I would guess to be at least a 30mph wind and it seemed to get stronger the higher I went. Way to much wind for photography, but I was all ready up there so I found a rock just over barley over the top of Round, sat down in front of it with hopes that it would block some of the wind... didn't help much :biggrin: Anyway this is what I came away with, I tried to bring some of the mountains out in the middle of the shot but I think all I did was create noise. This shot looks pretty good on my lcd monitor but not so hot on my crt.

Some thoughts?

Awesome shot. Well worth the effort. Great light.

I bet the trip down was tons of fun.

Great-looking sky, Thomas. And, yes, it looks cold. Well worth the effort, IMO.

Thomas,

Awesome shot! I was thinking how great it would have been to join you Saturday morning because it was a beautiful with Clear Blue Skies with NO WIND in Johnson City. I had used up most of my kitchen passes getting ready for my show so I spent quality time with the family Saturday.

Again, thanks for coming down for my Opening Reception. Kepp up the great work!!! :toast:
