Photo of the Day: Rising Moon Yosemite N.P. 1996 by Jim Coulter
Ok. I really like the way there are 3 distinct colors to this image. The red of the grass, yellow of the mountain reflecting the setting sun and blue of the sky. The moon ads interest to the sky to make this a really good image. Nice shot Jim. Photo by Jim Coulter via Flickr.

Photo of the Day: Photo: Yosemite Fall overlook by Rob Davis

Looks like it’s going to be a pretty mild weekend this weekend. Definitely take sunscreen as it’s easy to get a sunburn in the mountains when it’s cooler and you don’t notice you’re burning.

Doug McConnell of Openroad.tv Interviews Galen and Barbara Rowell

Everyone knows Galen Rowell was a great photographer and many consider his work in Yosemite every bit as influential to modern photography as Ansel Adams.
