The Tree Musketeers

Yosemite as a state park is almost without parallel elsewhere in the world. But it's very well known -- it's difficult to get a shot of something entirely new, or even a shot of something old with a significantly different treatment. On this visit, I had amazing luck, and (as well as a few other shots in this collection) managed to get one of sunset behind some trees. To me they almost seemed to be belligerent sentinels rather than trees, but I enjoyed the structure of the picture either way.

Taft Point Wedding

Hiking through Yosemite on a somewhat mad expedition, I came across a wedding at the very edge of the world around Taft Point.

Sunset at Taft Point
