Towse: views from the hill » Yosemite http://towse.com/wordpress Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:01:34 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.3 Yosemite. 01-Nov-2006 http://towse.com/wordpress/2009/06/18/yosemite-01-nov-2006/ http://towse.com/wordpress/2009/06/18/yosemite-01-nov-2006/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 23:06:00 +0000 http://towse.com/wordpress/2009/06/18/yosemite-01-nov-2006/ I was thumbing through pictures taken during a long weekend at Yosemite in late October, early November 2006. The valley was so peaceful and lovely. The deciduous trees had turned. The hikes up toward Vernal Falls and elsewhere were still open, pending the first snow. Not many people cluttering up the space.

I was trying to find a photo that captured it all, perhaps a cheery yellow-orange tree against a Half Dome backdrop, but I had cheery yellow-orange trees and I had granite, but the granite photos all seemed to have evergreens in front of them and the fall colors didn’t have granite in the background. Ah. Here’s one.

If you ever have a chance to go for a few days to Yosemite when the crowds of tourists have gone but the valley isn’t deep in snow, Go!
