Stone Mountain Park

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Contributor Bumble Bee Productions brings us this excellent aerial view of Stone Mountain, Georgia, a large and very famous rock formation on the northeastern outskirts of Greater Atlanta. The mountain is an inselberg (isolated rock formation) whose summit stands about 250 meters (just over 800 ft.) above the surrounding land. It's best known for its huge carving depicting Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson, three of the most important civil and military leaders of the Confederacy during the US Civil War.

A good time to drone Stone Mountain, not many people around and the sun finally came out after a week of snow and rain. A little tidbit about this big rock from Wikipedia: Stone Mountain is a quartz monzonite dome monadnock and the site of Stone Mountain Park near Stone Mountain, Georgia. At its summit, the elevation is 1,686 feet (514 m) above sea level and 825 feet (251 m) above the surrounding area. Stone Mountain is well known for not only its geology, but also the enormous rock relief on its north face, the largest bas-relief in the world.[1] The carving depicts three Confederate figures, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
