Yesterday it was the hill in northern Kentucky. Tonight it was the Wheel on the Island in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Every time I dare get this far off the ground I mention that I have acrophobia, the fear of heights. I had more of a desire to see the sunset from the top of the gondola in the middle of the Island, a tourism hub in Pigeon Forge.
As you can see, the view is terrific. And I promise you, if there hadn’t been a sunset I wouldn’t have been up there.
I had a lovely drive down, and hey, it’s finally shorts weather!!
Have a great evening. I certainly am!

Years ago, when Pretty was a teenager, we went to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, to sight see and had a good time. (I can't remember what we did but do remember we enjoyed ourselves.)
Depending on what I'm doing, I can be acrophobic as well as claustrophobic. I can manage heights as long as I'm enclosed in something but if it's too tight, then I get claustrophobic, too. I enjoy the lower heights of a Ferris wheel but don't want to be on top of the wheel if it stops moving. Same with roller coasters. And whatever those bouncy things are called. I only went on those things because Pretty wanted to ride them... 
I've been wearing jean shorts and tank tops since the middle of April.

What a lovely shot. I would have to pass on the gondola. Too afraid of heights.

I haven't been in that area in some time, it's always so scenic to see a sunset like that. Pigeon Forge in general can seem so very congested at times, but much of it is worth the trip. I am glad you are having a good time!

I'm glad the view was worth the effort. It takes courage to do what you did.
