Yosemite backcountry

Yosemite backcountry
Yosemite backcountry, originally uploaded by mlog.
A few posts back, I talked about a quote from a Sierra Club book that I have. Loosely it goes thus:

"...So why do we do it? Walk miles and miles to exhaustion? The answer is: the view at our feet..."

This photographer captures this. His flickr photos are amazing and you should visit him. Each photo is more breath-taking than the last. Look for outstanding mountain peaks-Young mountains that jut into the sky like a sword welding prince celebrating a victory. There is a capture of a wave at sunset and it looks like lace being held before a fire. Amazing. Inspiring...You will want to don your hiking boots-the captures are that wonderful.

I felt that I could walk into his photos and smell the starkly cold air. Amazing-you will love the adventure that he takes you on. He is the Ansel Adams of color photography.
