Now it is considered dangerous and is fenced off. Back then women in long skirts climbed to the top layer of the rock to pose for a picture. One has eleven people sitting on it.anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-64934810627464966422014-03-04T11:53:47.487-06:002014-03-04T11:53:47.487-06:00Thanks Little Nell.

The fake-fight, the elbow-belly, the chain. I have tried to collect as many of these common poses on separate pages as I can.anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-38142074247574088102014-03-04T08:29:53.961-06:002014-03-04T08:29:53.961-06:00Those Umbrella rock photos are fascinating.

The photographer set up the camera so that it would look like the people were sitting right on the edge of a steep drop-off. He made sure to get the bend of the river and the hotel rooftop into the shot. When I found the first photograph I was able to begin research by blowing up the section on the right with the plaque that gives a brief history of the “Battle of Wauhatchie.” anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-76447102326463587962014-03-03T03:22:27.041-06:002014-03-03T03:22:27.041-06:00Wow!

The Lookout Mountain Rock acquired fame from its part in the civil war battle of the same name, as otherwise it might have been just another rock.

Only in recent times has it been deemed "dangerous."

NOW, it is considered dangerous and is fenced away from the public. I was glad to find finally, a photograph that included a ladder too. I wondered about how they got up there.anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-69200732327749395752014-03-02T11:05:09.547-06:002014-03-02T11:05:09.547-06:00Thanks Rosa.
