View of Grandfather Mountain this morning

It looked magical, off in the distance. The sky was gray and cloudy here, but the sun touched the top of this mountain, where there it has snowed for several days recently.
Awesome view and fav. capture of it.

@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry. I just had to take a photo. It was too pretty to miss.
@serendypyty Thank you Carole. It was beautiful to see. @farmreporter The name comes from the shape (the forehead, nose and beard) but you're right the snow does add some "age" to the old man. Thanks Wendy.
@linnypinny Thank you Lin.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. I'll tag it when I finish commenting. @thewatersphotos Thank you Gary. It doesn't look like this often and sometimes it is totally obscured by clouds, but I can see it most days. Highlighted as it was by the sun made it stand out.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian. I enjoy seeing it most days. @jamibann It's close to 60 miles away by road. Of course this is looking at is as the crow flies. Still a goodly distance. Thank you Issi. @kjarn Thank you Kathy.
@haskar Thank you Hannah. I enjoy seeing this mountain. I hope no one builds houses across the road and blocks this view while I'm living here.
@wakelysz Thank you Susan. The sun really brightened it up. @craftymeg Thank you Margaret.
@jernst1779 Thanks Jean.
@tunia Thank you Tunia.

And thanks to you all for putting this on the PP and TP.

Magical indeed!

Beautiful view- that spot of sun really stands out!

@mcsiegle It doesn't look so close Mary. It was really zoomed in and cropped too. It is beautiful to see.
@aikiuser Thank you so much Jenn.
@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. The highlighting is what drew me to take the shot.

I wonder why it's called Grandfather mountain, is there some story or legend attached to it?
January 22nd, 2021  
Like sugar powder on a cake !
January 23rd, 2021  
@will_wooderson It's because the mountain top resembles the head of an old man - forehead, nose and bearded chin.
@cocobella It does have that look of powdered sugar, doesn't it.
