I can't tell you how much I loved being in Yosemite National Park for a week. The scenery there was absolutely astounding... especially in contrast to the endless flat farmland I'm surrounded by in my day-to-day life. There was no shortage of photography opportunities, which made me quite happy, to say the least.

This is the view from Wawona Road, which was part of my daily drive in/out of the park. I took this on my last day in the park, which was also the only day that it rained. Every other day was mostly sunny, clear blue skies, etc... Regardless of that, once the storm clouds moved in, it made for a pretty amazing scene. Just left of centre is El Capitan, and at distant center is Half Dome.
