Below is an image I took at a turnout around June Lake in June this year. If you have a second, open the image and read the plaque. Urban legend stuff! 🙂 Have a great week everyone!

While in the Eastern Sierra in June, I took a quick drive through the June Lake area. Below is an image of the forest area around the lake. You can see the lake through the trees. Next time I think I’ll spend a little more time around that area. The fall foliage is usually great […]

Below is another image from the back side of Pothole dome. This view of the Tuolumne River is facing northwest, heading toward Glen Aulin in the Yosemite high country. I want to hike the area on the other side of the river, as there is a trail that heads to the high country. Have a […]

Below is another image of my morning after doing astrophotography at Minaret Vista. The image is of the Tuolumne River on the back side of Pothole Dome in Tuolumne Meadows. I had the whole place to myself! It was so peaceful! Have a great week everyone!

Below are two images I took while in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite on the morning after doing astrophotography at Minaret Vista in Mammoth Lakes. Watching a sunrise on a granite dome in the Yosemite high country is always amazing! Have a great week everyone!

Below is an image from my second night of astrophotography while in Yosemite and Mammoth Lakes in June. The image is taken from Minaret Vista at Mammoth Mountain. You can see the light at the gondola station at the top of Mammoth Mountain and lights at Mammoth Mountain Lodge ski area. I stayed out there […]

Below is another image I took my first night at Tunnel View in Yosemite in June. I’m still trying to figure out how to post-process images for astrophotography, so it may take me a while to get it exactly right. However I do like this one. Another image below I took along the Merced River […]

My first night in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in June was (of course) in Yosemite! I arrived at Tunnel View at around 2am and quickly setup my tripod. Wouldn’t you know I was the only person in the area except for one RV that was tucked way in the back of the parking area. I […]

The image below shows one of my favorite places to stop and have a small lunch at in the Yosemite high country. The area is along the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River. I’ve posted images before of this area, but this one image was taken on my last visit to the park in June […]

I returned Tuesday night last week from a good four days in the Sierra Nevada, including Yosemite! I did two nights of astrophotography which was really great! The Milky Way was high in the sky and looked incredible. I’m in the process of working on the night images in Lightroom and will post them as […]
