Obsessed.

Obsessed. I’m obsessed with editing the pictures from this moment of the trip; I’ve had these pictures open in Lightroom since I downloaded the RAW files to my desktop, I’ve created several different versions of this picture, and I’ve made composite images of the scene, trying to exactly replicate how beautiful the light streamed through the trees, how sharp the sequoia needles were against the bright sky, and the overall sublime mood of sunset in Round Meadow in early august. This was my probably the most beautiful moment of the entire trip. It was our first glorious day back in Sequoia and Kings Canyon. After a year of waiting to be back, the park glittered in all its splendor to welcome us back. How could I not be obsessed with this moment and want to capture it and preserve it? Especially when it looks like we stepped into a WPA poster? It was a perfect moment.
