Headed for the clouds
Weekly Photo Challenge: Between. As I traveled up this very shaky, not so safe looking railroad track at Mount Washington, I realized I might as well enjoy the ride because there really was no turning back. I created this as black and white to evoke more of a mood. I am terrified of heights, but my children were very excited to do this ride. Mount Washington is one of the windiest places on earth. My young son almost blew off at the top. Fortunately the conductor grabbed him. He calmly replied “Oh that happens all the time”. I didn’t remember reading any warnings about hold on to children if you don’t want them to set sail of the mountain. Sometimes there are no warnings in life, but staying calm makes you react better. This year I plan to continue to challenge myself, while still holding on to the things that matter. From stay-at-home mom to starting up my career again – only independently. While shaky at times, it has been well worth the journey! Click here for more info on Mount Washington, NH. Happy New Year to All!
This reminds me of the Incline Railway on Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga. Probably not as high up, but pretty steep!
I appreciate your liking some of my photographs on plaidoak.com. My wife is from New Hampshire originally, but she has converted now that she’s south of the Mason Dixon!
Really like your perspective on this on, Jennifer. Nice work! 🙂

Very nice photo – and the black and white really does set off the mood.
Thanks! I must say I love your blog!
I love mountain tops. Nice photo.
Well you would love this spot then! But it’s hard to get a clear day.
I think you have actually captured the mood very well and the B/W certainly helps alot! Nice shot, Jennifer.
Amazing photo and great writing! Keep it up. 🙂
