I just got back from a short trip that included a visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. There was a chair lift ride that provided panoramic views of the mountains when I reached the top. On the way down I was directly above this scene just before I got off. You may notice the shadow in the top corner. I’ve included some other pictures to show what I could see from my seat on the chair lift.

I love when you get a different perspective on things, like you do in a chair lift. Great entry for the challenge!

Probably the scene of the mountains, up and away, was better than below.

In all the years we traveled YEARLY to that area (Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg) we never once did this chair lift. We talked about doing it but never did. Sooooo many breathtaking views around there.

Chair lifts are cool, but they freak me out. The motion and the heights, just, I can’t stand (or sit) it.
