Our Daily Topic: Green - out hiking with a mine and glad that I had also put my camera into my backpack.
Drove up to Palos Verdes as it was such a clear day to see the amazing views of Los Angeles from there. When Captain George Vancouver sailed along its shores in 1793, he named the southwest tip of the peninsula Point Vicente, in honor of his friend, Friar Vicente of the Mission San Buenaventura.

Rogers Spring and Blue Point Spring both share a colorful history. One story involves a 1903 project to build a canal to divert water from both springs to 500 acres of farmland located several miles south of St. Thomas. During this effort, several industrious men used a horse team, scraper, homemade ditcher and shovels to construct a channel to connect both springs. They tested the channel and discovered that the water flowed only a short distance before soaking in. Undaunted, they lined the ditch with clay to prevent leakage, and when that failed, they borrowed $3,000 and took several months mixing cement by hand and again lining the ditch. Eventually, they were successful in transporting the water to the intended land. However, the project ultimately failed due to economic reasons. The men involved evidently drank the spring water while working on the project. Unfortunately, this water acted as a natural laxative, and these individuals lost a considerable amount of weight. Subsequently, the channel discharging water from Blue Point Spring became known as “Slim Creek.”

Taken during a visit to Yosemite National Park in California, USA on Saturday the 17th May 2014, which included shooting the sunrise over Half Dome from Glacier Point, a drive up over Tioga Pass Road including a stop-off at Tenaya Lake, and then finishing off the day at Glacier Point again around 14 hours after my previous visit for sunrise.
