Yosemite Valley Chapel
In the spring of 1878, the California State Commissioners of the Yosemite Grant received an application “from the Rev. J.K. McLean and others, representing an association known as the Sunday School Union, for permission to erect in the Yosemite Valley a chapel, which should be used for undenominational purposes.” The application was granted, and a “handsome, tasteful building” was erected the following year near where the present Four Mile trailhead is located today.
Last Pop at Dusk
Point Bonita – Marin Headlands, CA. There is a moment just after the sun sets below the horizon; where the sun seems to add one final ‘pop’ before it disappears for the evening. You never know what you’re going to get when you head out. From the cloud cover above I didn’t expect much from this evening. But, in those last moments the rays lit up the sky just a touch for some contrast.
Walkway to Point Bonita Lighthouse
Got to Pt Bonita Lighthouse trail a little bit after closing. Nobody was around and I was able to take this shot just before sunset.
Watching the World Go By
I went out to the Marin Headlands overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. The lights of the cars commuting back and forth, the illuminating lights as darkness sets. At the Marin Headlands, the only sound is the wind as you look at the City. It seems like a world away but its only a short distance to find that peace.
Colors in Idaho
Striking colors, blue sky, red lava flow, Dwarf Goldenbush and a sapling Limber Pine – Craters of the Moon, Idaho
Lil’ dragon of Crater of the Moon
Walking along one of the trails at Crater of the Moon, Idaho, I spied this limb that reminded me of Mushu from the Disney movie Mulan.
