Stone Mountain is on the other side of Atlanta from me. I went there numerous times in the first 5 years after moving here. Whenever anyone came to visit, it was someplace to take them. On a clear day, you can get some decent sunset pictures of Atlanta from the top of the mountain...It's a nice hike to go down the mountain, but I'm getting too old to hike up it...Nice photos!

Thanks. The Bigma does a decent job on these, even hand held. No crops here either.

It is a mountain of pure granite so that might be true.
