I wanted to say the same as Melbob... I though you were doing some flying stunts over alien territory. Very impressive. Regards jnconradie

This is beautiful Pops. Without your explanation I thought this was taken from a plane at altitude. Love the colour contrast here.

This is great Pops - love the slight uncertainty of scale, texture, DOF and contrast. - Kelly

Thanks, all.

Lonnit, near Atlanta is Stone Mountain that has carved on it face Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson. Lest any one thinks it's copying Mt Rushmore. The artist who started the carving on Stone Mountain left to work on Mt. Rushmore.

Stone Mountain raises 800 feet above the surrounding area. There are a few seams of marble (I think) in the granite stone and this is a shot of one of those seams. Not long after I took this picture I turned to my right and shot the sunset behind Atlanta, also entered in this challenge.
