I took this shot in December, 2006 soon after my wife gave me a tripod for Christmas.
Pilot Mountain is one of the more dramatic geological features in North Carolina. Compared to the peaks found in the Black Mountains, Pilot's 2421 ft. elevation is modest. However, because Pilot Mountain is surrounded by miles of relatively flat farm land and pasture, this rocky prominence is striking. When most North Carolinians think of Pilot, they think of it's larger pinnacle, called "Big Pinnacle", which is the subject of this photograph.
There are a few interesting features in this particular shot. First, in the background you can see two other mountains in the front range, Sauratown Mountain and Hanging Rock. Second, near to the top of the photo, I was able to capture the early evening moon. This weekend, I will post another Pilot Mountain photo taken the same day.
