  • Morning Shot July 27 2009 (It’s a short week!)

    Today’s awesome Morning Shot provided by Ben Metcalfe. Today’s Morning Shot is a beautiful shot of the Tufa at Mono Lake with the Sierra as the back drop.

  • Beautiful Downpour in Tioga Pass

    I happened to check the Tioga Pass webcam tonight and noticed it’d captured a very nice rainbow during an evening downpour. The timestamp on the photo is a little after 7 p.m. tonight. Awesome photo. I’m glad they have the webcams up and allow everyone to see them.
