My nephew is visiting from Australia, and asked if I could take him to Yosemite & show him a good trail.

I sent him around the Panorama loop, and that will go into a separate trip report. On the way out back towards 41, we noticed a truck suddenly swerve into the parking lot, the driver jumped out with a camera. So Daniel drove right in, and this is what we saw:

Beautiful picture!

That's Bridalveil Falls coming over the cliff. Cathedral rocks are the three peaks on the left. Leaning Tower is the foremost tower on the right.

Here's a link to a www.postholer.com map showing the topography.

Wow wagga, that's incredible! Was that just a slender setting-sun ray peeking through the clouds? Looks pretty overcast.

Wow, that is one of the most beautiful photos I have seen. It's rare a photo leaves you speechless.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
