What’s Old is New Again
Kudos to the guys at the Yosemite Association who got the redirect working from the old webcam page. Now even if you type in the old URL you’ll be automatically redirected to the new page. Nice work guys! By the way, did you know the webcams are also featured on the National Park Service site?

Photo of the Day: ISO 50 f22 1 min exposure by Jason Armstrong
Today’s Photo of the Day is a really cool shot by Jason Armstrong (aka The Man in Red on Flickr) of Upper Yosemite Fall and the Merced River. What drew me to this photo was the way Jason anchored the foreground with the fence and filled the frame with the river. Ok, enough photographer crap…I’m…

Photo of the Day: Yosemite Valley by Devon Ford
Today’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful shot of the Merced river canyon looking into Yosemite with Bridalveil and Cathedral Rocks in the background by Devon Ford. Really an awesome shot. I think the black and white really does the scene justice and Devon got the contrast right on. This would be great to…

Snow – You Have to See to Believe

Yosemite Association Gives Web Cams New Home
I’ve had a bunch of emails today from people expressing their disdain for the disappearance of the Yosemite Association webcams. Not sure what was up I typed in the familiar URL and got a 404: Not Found. Wondering what was up I went to Yosemite.org and lo and behold, they’ve redesigned the site! If you…

Photo of the Day: Poppies and Peaks by Garry Hayes
From the man who taught me that a rock is more than something your brother throws at you and geologists take no schist come two awesome photos for Photo of the Day. The first is, of course, poppies. The second Garry took along Highway 49 around Bagby (between Coulterville and Mariposa) and shows the top…

Photo of the Day: Bridalveil Fall by Loyd Schutte
Today was a beautiful, beautiful day to be up in the park shooting that’s why Today’s Photo of the Day is none other than one of my own shots, this one of Bridalveil Fall. We were actually heading out of the park when I happened to see the perfect spot for this shot. Unfortunately we…
