Since Ansel Adams did all his work in Yosemite in black and white, I'll end my collection of Yosemite pictures with my favorites that I've converted to that format. Thanks, Yosemite and thanks to all my friends for such a wonderful trip.

Black and White
Since Ansel Adams did all his work in Yosemite in black and white, I'll end my collection of Yosemite pictures with my favorites that I've converted to that format. Thanks, Yosemite and thanks to all my friends for such a wonderful trip.
Tunnel View
Tunnel View is perhaps one of the most iconic images in all of Yosemite, made famous by Ansel Adams. On the left is El Capitan, on the right is Bridalveil Fall, and in the center and a little further back is Half Dome.Coming out of the Wawona Tunnel on Route 41, the view of Yosemite Valley is amazing, which, unfortunately, can cause quite a traffic snarl.
My scuba group are amazing friends; I just wish we could see each other more often, especially since Mallik and I are now out West.
Day 160 - Mariposa Grove
This video clip sums up our visit to the Mariposa Grove . . . but the trees truly are spectacular. At the top is Faithful Couple, where two trees grew together so close, their trunks merged into one.
Day 157 - People I Dig
For this trip, my entire scuba group came to Yosemite; Mallik now lives in Seattle and organized our lodging in the park. He's standing here in front of the "Grizzly Giant" giant sequoia tree in Yosemite's Mariposa Grove, a tree that's 209 feet tall and is estimated to be between 1900 and 2400 years old.
Day 156 - Waterfalls
And the massive snow melt even makes impromptu waterfalls appear in unlikely spots . . . it won't last, but it's pretty while it does.
