The sunset-appearing color on the rocks is actually from the sun being filtered through the smoke from the Wawona area prescribed fire last October.

That photo makes it look like Zion National Park.

My apologies... this wasn't at Tunnel View either. (the other one I posted was from Inspiration Pt.)
But I was in my sleepy bag when I took this one...

This belongs in another thread...
but noone noticed something on the top of El. Cap in my picture above...
Here's the view using the Hostess Cupcake super Zoom:

Perhaps the worst Tunnel View Photo ever taken (I don't even know those people):
Should I copyright this photo??
At least the pine tree is in focus.

Hmm... and I get the bad rep?
Here's the "new" view... and.. I don't know any of these people either.
I asked them to get out of the picture but..
And if you want to copy it... go crazy... anything in picasa is reduced quality and will
suck even more than any of the poo I take... (oops... I think I'm not allowed to mention
poo anymore)

I would say that you have revealed, better than I was able to capture in my Tunnel View, a subtle play of light and dark, civilization and civil engineering, wilderness and wideness, obesity and asthenia; the images in the photo symbolically represents man's inhumanity to man balanced against man's inhumanity toward nature. No man is an island yet we are all islands in the sea of wilderness to the extent that the products of man's creation (roads and guardrails) allow us to intrude into the wilds of Yosemite. We are drawn toward the magnetic magnificence of the Valley, yet held back by the stone wall of our own creation.
How is that for too much education?
Who needs poo when we have so much BS ?

Not so much dislike as dis-understand.
Yes,

Re: Tunnel View Photos May 03, 2009 02:22PM |
Well-written, but it's not the same mood I came across at Tunnel View a year ago... I had seen photos for decades but when we came out of the tunnel I gasped and literally couldn't speak for 30 seconds. Not just the shock of recognition of famous landmarks but the sudden entry into "another world." Like we all had stumbled on a Shangri-La and were still marveling about it. Among the people at the viewpoint that morning, there was a general feeling of awe and discovery... I didn't feel any of the negative things expressed about Tunnel View in other posts of this thread. I was thankful that this particular road and viewpoint was constructed, so that my 90-year-old mother in her wheelchair could also experience it along with everyone else.

Since we're doing Zion...
I DO know this guy ... we hiked to the top of Angels Landing w/the wifie and my sis.
He has always wanted to go to Yosemite... maybe this year.

It's ironic how we despise all these people cluttering up the tunnel view when we in fact have all been in their place at one time or another, at least on our first trip to the valley. We still hate ourselves for it. What a hoot!

How come no one has mentioned this great photo? This image is very captivating. Can you see half dome? Look closely. Look how El Cap is balanced by Bridelveil Fall. Think how much is obscured by the clouds, yet how much we still see. There is tremendous depth of field. Not totally unique, but given the limitation of the geographic location, this is a very engaging photo. I am also impressed that the image looks like a black and white A. Adams scene, then suddenly you realize that it is in color. Very nice!

ME (Master Eeeeeek), this one has your trees in it.
Was thinking of posting one of Mike in it... but then I might end up getting another Elephant photo back at me...
Probably only got maybe 20 photos of Tunnel View... so I'm nearing the end. It's one of those place like
El Cap meadow where I usually say "I need to go and spend ALOT of time here... not just 10 minutes".
