The mountains offer many stunning sights and I am grateful for all of them.
Today I am grateful to have seen The Old Man of the Mountain.
We were out camping on the September long weekend and came upon him during a hike.
We'd camped virtually underneath him during the August long weekend, but I didn't notice due to the angle, and to not knowing he was there. A friend pointed it out after I posted a photo on Facebook that featured the fellow.
I confess I have no idea if I used to know he was there and forgot or simply never knew.
Now I've seen him. Now I know he is there, waiting patiently for who knows what? and I am grateful.

I'm still trying to see him, and failing. Nice mountain, though.

Mary Anne, enlarge pic. Look along top of mountains to see him in repose. From right see face in profile, follow left to see his hand on his tummy.
Saw the face almost right away, but it wasn't until i read your response to Solarity that i saw the hand.
Amazing what we can sometimes see without seeing.
It sure is, Messymimi. Glad you see him.
Is that a TV remote control I see in his hand? Oh, wait....
(thought for a moment he was modeled after modern guys.)
Great picture, cousin!
Thanks for the hint! I kept seeing all kinds of wild things in the mountain range but no old man. So glad you caught him before he got up from his nap.
LOL, Cousin. And thanks.
Crabby, I don't want to be around when he wakes up.
Thanks for reminding me about this. I took kids out in that area for outdoor ed and would show them the man. The kids wee impressed.
Lovely photo. I knew he was there, but, hidden back in the deep dark recesses of my mind. I am glad you have reminded me of him, thanks.
My pleasure, Red and Reb.
