George, Your point-and-shoot puts my DSLR to shame behind untrained hands.

BTW, did anyone find out where on the Fontana Dam they filmed the scene from "The Fugitive" where Harrison Ford jumps off the dam to escape Inspector Girard (Tommy Lee Jones)?
Actually the scene from The Fugitive was filmed at the dam just below the NC side of the Dragon on 129, near Tapoco Lodge. It's even called "Fugitive Bridge" on many maps and tourist landmarks now. Very cool!

Great pics, BTW!
