Sometimes you just have stop what you are doing and take a break. Even at 4,000 feet.

    If he is really sleeping, I hope he doesn't roll over! :D Nice shot! It reminds me of a place I used to go camping back in my teens., many many moons ago.

    She was having a lot of fun. It was the perfect seat to lay down on for a brief moment. if she rolled off she would hit the rocks about 2 feet down. There is no way I would let her perch on the edge of 4000 feet drop-off.

    Sorry about that. It's hard to tell now days, especially the way some of them dress. ne_nau.gif

    Thanks! The idea for the lay-down was all hers, though.

    Nice shot. Is this up around Hawksbill, or maybe Stony Man?

    Thanks.

    This was at Stony Man. It was a quick walk from Skyland (easy start for her first hike of the week)!

    I'm not afraid of heights at all, but that shot made my stomach jump. Great job!

    Great shot, and choice of shooting angle!

    Reminds me of a trip to the Grand Canyon when I spotted a young guy trying to scare / impress his girl friend by standing on one foot and balancing on the edge of the canyon! He was standing and balancing with the entire width and depth of the canyon right below him.

    I wanted desperately to do something before this idiot killed himself, but there was nothing anyone could do. If I shouted it could cause him to loose his balance, if I tried to walk forward I could possibly cause him to look up and loose his balance.

    After a brief time he stepped away and the couple walked off laughing.

    Now here is the good part. When I walked over to the edge where he was balancing five feet below him was a 10 or 15 feet wide ledge. The danger was like your image ..........an illusion.

    Thanks for the comments!

    I kind of wish I had a wider lens available to capture more of the valley. Alas, I only took one lens with me on that day.
