Melissa and I dashed over to Yosemite early Sunday (the end of Daylight Savings gave us an hour we had to spend). Didn’t do any hiking but did click a few choice images. The greatness never ends at Yosemite, and no two days are alike, even if you’re standing in the same spot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Tunnel<\/a><\/p>\n

For instance, Tunnel View has never looked quite like this before. Some controlled burns were contributing to excellent clouds-painting-the-sky action.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Sky,<\/a><\/p>\n

Another Tunnel View shot, looking up the hill toward Inspiration Point.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Half<\/a><\/p>\n

Half Dome and the High Country from Washburn Point along Glacier Point Road just up from Glacier Point. I guess when a piece of rock is this big, it has its own gravity, which naturally attracts the human gaze. Or something.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Merced<\/a><\/p>\n

A popular vantage point on the Merced River in the Valley does not disappoint this time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"El<\/a><\/p>\n

El Capitan also has that strange magnetism.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Dome<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the dome behind the pull-in at Olmstead Point.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Tenaya<\/a><\/p>\n

Arrived at Tenaya Lake just in time for the surface to become calm as a sheet of glass.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Snow<\/a><\/p>\n

A dusting of snow gets washed down the hillside in the mountains at Ellery Lake just east of Tioga Pass.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Rock<\/a><\/p>\n

More rock and sky opposite Ellery Lake.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Ellery<\/a><\/p>\n

Ellery Lake looking west towards Tioga Pass.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know this is quickie but I’ve been staring at highways all day and need to rest my peepers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
