Category: Photo of the Day

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…

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…

Well, it’s Monday and that means my little break is over. Today I’ve come across a really beautiful shot from Brian Snelson from way back in 1991 of Half Dome and the Merced River. Beautiful shot, Brian. Photo by Brian Snelson via Flickr.

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…

The USGS library contains many interesting photos from all across the United States documenting the geologic and geographic features that make this country…

I’ve always loved photos of El Cap with snow on top that’s why when I saw this one by lesoverstreet in the Yosemite Blog pool I had no doubt I would be picking it at one time or another for Photo of the Day. I’m not sure what it is but El Cap always seems…

Today’s Photo of the Day is a wonderful shot by my wife of…my pants. We spend the day traipsing around taking pictures while the weather was nice. Below you’ll find the shot I was getting in position to take when the fatal mishap between my pants and a barbed wire fence took place. If the…

After being disappointed during several outings over the past two weeks, we ventured forth again today after closely monitoring the weather and satellite reports. It looked like a reasonable expectation of moderately clear skies at the sunset time. While we did not enjoy the trickle of deep red that sometimes reveals itself after official sunset,…
