Melissa Alcorn sent me this series of images she captured last week while hiking in the park the day the rock fall took place behind the Ahwahnee and the Big Meadow fire got a little wild.
I love the way you can see both events in the above photos. It’s like watching the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 and Mt. Shasta erupting at the same time. You get a great sense of the power and magnitude of the forces at work.
These are great shots, Melissa. I’ve seen a lot of shots from the ground but your angle above and to the east of the release point is very unique. I’m sure these are of interest to the geologists.
Thanks for sending them in.
