Today Apple named their new OS El Capitan. Couldn't be happier to have these legendary National Park monuments valued and promoted for world to know about them. Almost five years back I didn't even know about Yosemite which is before I arrived to the US. My ignorance. But if you lived in a country right on the other side of the globe of the United States, its was not that big of a surprise. But now Apple putting them on the 'Map' makes it easier for the people everywhere to know and admire these legends.
This is the tunnel view of the valley, with El Capitan on the left and the Half dome peeping right in the middle across the valley. This is a very popular spot in the park but you can never have enough of them! :)

The Highway of Legends in Colorado is a scenic and historic byway that spans 82 miles through the San Isabel National Forest. It is a National Scenic Byway, National Forest Scenic Byway, and Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway. The byway showcases the unique geological features of south-central Colorado, including the Spanish Peaks, remnants of a 20-million-year-old volcano. It also features the famous Devils’ Stairsteps and Profile Rock.
In this scene the Aspens are in full color as we descend from 11,000 ft down the back side of the Spanish Peaks towards Cuchara ski area.
If you ever get the chance to visit Liverpool (and I hope you do) you will soon notice the all consuming obsession with the Beatles wherever you go in the city. If anything time has only added to the legend that surrounds this extraordinary band of four musicians that literally changed the face of music in the early 60s and continued to innovate until their breakup 10 years later. Cheeky, funny, and ultra talented the Beatles reigned supreme in the pop music world for all of that time.
These larger than life bronze statues celebrating the fab four are by sculptor Andy Edwards and sit in the area on the River Mersey referred to as Pier Head, very close to the fabulous Royal Liver building. It's such a popular attraction that it's actually quite difficult to get a shot like this because there are hordes of tourists surrounding the artwork from dawn till dusk, all of them waiting their turn to nestle in amongst the statues for their own 'Beatles moment'. And who can blame them!
As we drive along Hwy 12, we stopped and pulled over to take in the sights. It's a real treat for the eyes to see the brilliant Aspen Groves nestled into the pines. The Aspens pop with color and glisten with light from the breezes.

At that time there was a royal tradition of kings hunting animals for sport. Once, the Iberian king Vakhtang I Gorgasali decided to go hunting with his falcon in the area surrounding today’s Tbilisi. While the king was looking for prey, he suddenly saw a pheasant. Acting quickly, he shot and wounded the bird. However, when he sent his falcon to retrieve the pheasant it didn’t return. After a long search the king and his army of hunters discovered some natural hot springs and found both birds boiled to death! King Vakhtang was surprised, but incredibly pleased, with the discovery of the natural hot springs as nobody had known about them before. So, he decided to build a city on this site. The location also had many other advantages. It was located between high mountains and was easy to protect from enemies. This, according to the legend, is how Tbilisi was founded
