This split boulder sits on top of Lembert Dome.
Giant sequoias towering over the Mariposa Grove museum, Yosemite National Park.
With hundreds of wild fires burning in California the sun was a deep red thirty minutes before sunset. This photo was taken from Tuolumne meadows.
Lodgepole pine trees predominate within the park. Long peak is the highest mountain in the background and over 1/3rd of the park is above the tree line with large areas of tundra.
This is one of the highest roads in North America reaching an elevation of 12183 feet with few guard rails and very high winds. The road was open for only one of the four days that I was there with the snow banks over 12 feet high!
This beautiful pine wood cabin, still in use within Rocky Mountain National Park, sits on a small hill above a large meadow surrounded by the Rocky Mountains.
I took this photo at dusk with a 20 second shutter speed and -1.0 exposure. Without a tripod I had to use rocks to hold the camera strap in place with the camera resting vertically against a large boulder.
