Some background: The top of McRae Peak where we're sitting for that photo is a house-sized boulder (you can see it in the distance in the shot at http://www.robertstech.com/temp/pages/7d301618.htm). Even though the boulder itself is enormous, people who haven't been there won't be able to tell from the photo how *small* that area on the top - where we were sitting for that photo - is. The shot was taken with a 15mm lens so we're really quite close to the camera. PS: I love those columns of cloud rising behind Jerome and Cesar - makes it look volcanic! -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
