It’s What We Really Need
For years I’ve been rallying for a light/high speed rail system into Yosemite from Mariposa or Merced. It could follow the historic rail road route and be elevated to prevent accidents with wildlife, rock slides, flooding and other disasters while minimizing ecological impact. It would take the place of thousands of cars and buses that…

Weird Half Dome
Kim was nice enough to send in this image she noticed on the Yosemite Association webcam of a cloud that appears to be forming off the moisture on the face of Half Dome. Pretty cool and very weird. Thanks for sending that in, Kim.

Photo of the Day: Lower Yosemite Fall by Jon Shiu
Today’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful shot by Jon Shiu of Lower Yosemite Fall. Jon took the photo with a plastic toy camera with medium format roll film, printed in the darkroom and sepia toned.
