Unfortunately, by the time I got done with business that day in Savannah and drove up to Hunting Island, the tower had closed for the day. If I get back down that direction again, I'll definitely have to arrange it so that I get there while the tower is open for climbing.

As for the shot over the trees, that one wasn't a difficult shot to take. It shouldn't be too tough for anyone who has a camera with a telephoto lens to shoot such a shot. That one happens to have been shot at about 150 mm or so. The Nikon N90 that I travel with when I'm not doing serious photography had a Tamron 28-300mm lens on it for that trip, which is a good choice when you only want to take a single lens on a trip. (A far cry from the 9 lenses that usually live in my photo backpack along with 2 Nikon F5 bodies!)
