Description Taken from the top of Governor's Peak looking north northeast 

Edit: Bit of History

Forgot to mention that the story goes that after John F. Kennedy was brought back to the mainland after the PT-109 incident in the pacific (WW2) he was sent here to recuperate. The story also goes that when he was able to walk again he would climb up to the very spot I am standing at and raise the America flag on the flagpole that still exists today and then later climb back up and lower it at days end.

Nicely captured, and it was interesting to hear the story behind this. I'm always interested in history events.

Sincerely

Thank you

If I know any history I try to include it as I feel it adds to the image

You're welcome.

I feel the same, though in my case it usually depends on how much I have to write for the history and how much time I have when I upload a new photo. XD

Seek and hide said something along the same lines... I might just give that a try
