Yosemite!

I am home from my travels! My last stop was in Yosemite, at a photo workshop run by Gary Hart and Don Smith. I learned a tremendous amount from them and hope to take another workshop from them soon.

And now to post the last batch of photos….

There were lots of reflection shots as the Merced River was very low.

There wasn’t a lot of running water anywhere to play with, but Fern Spring, tiny as it is, was still sun to shoot.

These two are from Bridalveil Creek.

And two wider shots, the first with El Capitan at sunrise.

Sunrise at Mesa Arch, Canyonlands, Part II

Here are a couple more shots from Canyonlands.

And here is a nervy coyote.

I love the aloof look on his face.

This is a photographer’s spot.

I have a few more shots that will take more time in Photoshop.

Arches at Sunrise

These are the Three Sisters.

And some nice rocks.

Arches!

Here is the South Window.

Near it is Double Arch.

And Balanced Rock.

Dead Horse State Park

Why Dead Horse? Legend says that some unwanted mustangs were left on the point where they died of thirst within sight of the Colorado River, 2,000 feet below.

Here’s a sunset shot looking at the Colorado twisting back and forth.

Arches at Sunrise

Here are two early shots, before the sun came over the horizon. This is looking at the “Windows Section.”

This is Balanced Rock.

Goblin Valley State Park: The Goblins

These weird formations occur only here in three small valleys.

The original name of the area was “Mushroom Valley.”

Goblin Valley State Park

This is a weird place, which made me do weird things.

Check out the signage.
