Ultraviolet and Near Infrared Photography - Exploring Bell Mountain

On the Sunday after camping on Lake Chatuge, we explored the surrounding mountains and cool locations in the area. We drove up to the parking lot of Bell Mountain and then hiked the last 300' to the top. It was a partly cloudy day, but I think this is a good thing as I got great designs and swirls in the clouds.

We arrived on the mountain top by about 10am, I used a higher ISO using my Black filter and morning sun I needed a little help from the camera. Unfortunately I do not have any reference photos to show this place in normal light. But you can find pictures all over the internet if you search for Bell Mountain GA.

Since it was a beautiful Sunday, I present this as my entry for #beautifulsunday hosted by @ace108.

That was the lake we camped on, if you click on the image you can see boat wakes on the water. Since it was late summer all the trees and plants were full of foliage making them all white in appearance.

The area has alot of graffiti, over decades of people adding their mark to the mountain. Id rather if they did not...

The stairway going to the top of the viewing platform. Which the first image was showing the top of it.

All of the rocks are covered in spray paint, some interesting things are said in the writing but mostly just peoples names and stuff.

Even there are some crossing out others graffiti, usually a sign of gangs and making it look extra gross.

The wispy sky had some great clouds in it, I really enjoyed the sky alot in these photos.

Some of the graffiti were drawings of stuff, like peace signs of flowers.

A view through an opening in the peaks, seeing the mountains on the other side. Along with some graffiti that looks like it belongs on box cars more than a mountain top.

My friend heading back down the mountain with me, going to head off to our next location on the way back home.
