Wow, awesome pics. If I took them they would be black. Biggest thunderstorm of my life yesterday. Tornado warnings and all :eek:
:thumbup:

Ugliest and most boring pictures from the worst photographer on the Planet....... :nanana: Where's the dancing girls..... :rolleyes:

I guess i have to say I'm joking now........... :nanana:

Thanks you ole goat...... :bustingup :bustingup

Great pictures.

Great shots David. Amazing how many different flavors there are of the same view.

I see you still haven't cut down those trees that keep creeping into your frames. Have you considered getting Photoshop at least so that you can cut them down electronically? :stickpoke :rofl:

Beautiful as usual. I think we'll wear you down and you'll eventually get a Canon 40D. :D

Great pics! I grew up just across the mtn. from your location (Cherokee). Always great to see reminders of home. Just up there over the 4th of July, hacked around Lake Junaluska GC with my brother.

Thanks for all the "looks" and kind words!

PNG/K: Yes, I have the Canon 40D Jones, but
not the justification for the expenditure at the
moment. Actually, my KM 5D is ok, but I do have
a couple of "spots" on the CCD that will not come
off, and my old film cam Sigma lenses are getting
a lil' beat up and, they were not great glass to start
with. Maybe I can be your assistant...

QuickX5: Lettme know next time you are coming
this way...we can chase it on Laurel Ridge CC,
my home track. We live 15 mins from that Junalaska
course.

Rayxi: We did have several very large trees taken down
this spring and several more "topped". We left a thinned
out one on the left and right to sort of frame the view.
The trees taken down were 150+ yr old white oaks and
rock maples, 3-4 ft in dia and a hundred ft tall. Even the
thinned ones are that size, and down a 55 deg slope in
the woods below the deck...this is not like cutting down
a tree in the backyard, lol! I'll live with the two "framers"
for a year or so...below are crummy stitched pano shots
of "before and after". The HOAs here are tough on totally
de-treeing the steep slopes...
