I went to Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina this afternoon. I didn't shoot a lot of photos, but these coin-operated binoculars always fascinate me, especially in this particular landscape. This mountain is about 5,300 feet above sea level. The wind here today was sustained between 40 and 60 miles per hour with gusts reaching 80 and 90 mph. Doing anything with the tripod was rediculously difficult. I could not let go of the tripod or it would blow over. We can't have that :)
