Default View from Mt. Washington

Hello !
Thought you might like to see a picture I found in the "archives". About 3 years ago, I finally got brave and went to the top of Mt. Washington. For those of you who may not be familiar with this part of the world, Mt. Washington is in New Hampshire-it's part (a very big part) of the White Mountains. Elevation is 6,288 ft. I have a fear of heights so this was quite a challenge, just getting me into the car. But I am so glad I went, what an awesome experience.
This was taken with my old Olympus camera (which I hated) so it doesn't have the quality/sharpness that it should, but it will give you a glimpse of what the view looks like. Enjoy !

Wow it is an awesome view and well worth overcoming your fear of heights. No wonder you are glad you made the journey. That is a breathtaking view and dont be too hard on the camera. "You" captured a lovely photograph. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Dave.

I have been there and it is an amazing place...especially on a clear day. It can be very cold up there too. Thanks for sharing this lovely shot.

Noticed you drove up rather than take Cog Railway. Great photo.
