How High



We never know how high we are
Till we are asked to rise
And then if we are true to plan
Our statures touch the skies -----Emily Dickinson

This is a very famous mountain in china,in the south of the Anhui Province.Going to the top of the mountain you must climb the most dangerous "heaven ladder.If you google"Mount Huangshan",you will find nice pictures..

COOL! Although, I would be scared to death cuz I am afraid of heights. :(

That picture both terrifies and inspires me, I have dreadful vertigo but it looks so much like something out of the movie 'Lost Horizon' that I long to be there! Thanks for the info on the location. Also thank you Dutchess for your kind comment on my banner....much appreciated as you obviously have a very good eye for beautiful art!
Do you know the poem by George Eliot 'O My I join the Coir Invisible'....I think you may really enjoy it!
