#1 Got Film Developed From Hiking In The Mountains. Is That A Hand?
My boyfriend and I aren't really sure what to think. We went to a state park in West Virginia during off season, according to the park ranger (and the conditions of the hiking trails) we were the only ones there for the week and had been the first there in a while. I took this pic at the top of the mountain. Behind the pillar should have been nothing, a drop off to the woods below. are we bugging? that really looks like a hand.
