I don't think you waited long enough for your photos to down load.
Cool--thanks, I've never seen this view before. It does look from parts of the sky as if your sensor could use a cleaning, though. (Been there!)

Hal...Why do ya think ??
cabunit...thanks, can't believe I missed that, must have been a lens speck, none of the other pics from that day show that, but I'll check it out and correct it !
Apologies to all !

At 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is "home of the world's worst weather," so the observatory claims. They recorded a wind gust of 231 mph once and wind chill of -100 degrees. Burrrrrrr!
Went to the top of Mt Washington once.... back in the 70's. Below is a scanned copy of a picture I took walking from the parking lot to the observatory. Never been in "Zero" visibility fog but this was close. Final mile or so up was "interesting" and the first mile down. By the time we got to the base the mountain looked like your picture :-)

Matter of fact, the 231 mph wind gust was recorded on this very day in 1934, and still is tops in velocity experienced by a human,
leading to April 12th being known as National Big Wind Day !
Who knew ??
