Yosemite yesterday

I'll make a few million by turning this photo into a postcard... NOT! It's been done before. Nothing can prepare you for the speechless awe at this site! The bear is a cub.... we did not see mamma. And.... so much for the axiom, they only do it in the woods! TTC

If you go, don't forget to visit the high country Granny, Fossis. Just as beautiful also. I back packed it when there was no-one up there, sigh, the old days of the 40's.

Come on down to TAYOPA country, Mexico. Sorry, the photo is so old and faded. The fall has a 900 ft straight drop. The Yosemite and Zapata falls photos are far superior in quality. sniff.

Here's a pic I took near the base of El Capitan (a large rock face) of a climber. Do you see him? Hint: the second pic has him circled. It looks like two climbers but the object below the climber is a bag of rope. It takes about 3 days to climb El Capitan. The climbers "pitch a tent" on the rock face for the night. We saw at least a dozen different FOOLS (just kidding) climbing Friday. Not in a million years!!! TTC

Awesome pics. Were you there when this happened? http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_12589788?source=rss

I heard of the fall... tragic. We were there Friday. You can tell by the photos, Friday's weather was pretty active too. It was not as dark as the photos would make it seem... I have a polaroid filter on to enhance the clouds. And since I am a newbie with my camera, the filter is rotated too far in the second photo, causing the dark areas of the corners. Another pic of El Capitan. There are at least 5 climbers on this pic. Maybe you can find more. Near the top, but still on the face, is a Canadian (flag) climber(s). TTC

The very first picture I think is the best. It would look great enlarged and framed.
