Default Caesar's Head (A Mountain Scene)



This is a mountain in South Carolina. It does somewhat look like a face, but I have no idea why it was named for Caesar.

Me neither, but what a gorgeous photo. The colors are brilliant

Great Capture, very well composed and the focus is spot on!
Perhaps you have to be at a different location to see Ceasars face.
Thanks for Sharing this
Michael.

Thanks guys. You're right, it does look like a monkey. I've never thought of it that way before. I have never seen it "face-on" as this is actually on the side of a cliff. One would need a helicopter to get a straight view. I was standing on a overlook with a fence so it was safe, but there is about a 1500 foot drop almost straight down to the right of the photo. This is one of the highest points in South Carolina, about 3200 feet or so. We're a pretty low state (in a lot of ways,) but the few mountains we have are very pretty and photogenic. I'm fortunate to live close by.
