Yosemite and More

It's been a while, I have to get out more. These photos were taken on a great trip I had with Friedhelm to Kings Canyon-Sequoia National Parks. This first one is the view from the Forest Service Fire Lookout on Buck Rock. The road in was pretty bad, but the view once you got there was spectacular. Can you imagine being here during a thunder storm. That would be soooo cool. Unfortunately they don't allow anyone up there if there's a possibility of  lightning. If you look closely at the chair's feet you will see that they're protected by insulators.  I think the chair has been there since the  tower was first put in, in 1923.  They also have some very active Hummingbird feeders.

It's been a while since I posted. I've even been out shooting a few times. Just haven't made the time to do the editing.

We went to Grizzly Falls, I decided I liked this image of the bottom of the fall most. On the way in to the fall I took the following photograph. I have no idea what happened or why it came out how it did, but I thought it was kind of cool I took this one among the Giant Sequoias, the sun was mostly down except at the top of the tallest trees. As we headed down from the high country  we came across the lights of the valley. I prefer the lights of the stars. If you look closely you can see a little of the Milky Way in the upper left corner. Go, See, Enjoy. Dave
