Beautiful hillside tea house with a view to the valley deep below at Ulleri village Nepal while trekkers stop to re-energise themselves.
El Capitan rises nearly 3600 feet above the floor of Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park. One of the largest exposed pieces of granite in the world, this behemoth attracts rock climbers from around the world. Everyone seeing Yosemite Valley for the first time is truly amazed at the enormous size of El Capitan as it dwarfs everything in its vicinity. But to be ready to gain a sense of scale, do not forget to bring your binoculars in order to spot the rock climbers. They appear as dots, tiny dots, moving along El Capitan's seemingly sheer surface.
This is one of our favorite views in all of Yosemite National Park. Looking across the Merced River and down Yosemite Valley. The river's water was low during this September visit. But the tall grasses on the near bank and low light on El Capitan made the visit worthwhile. I believe the rock spires on the right are the Cathedral Rocks.
Shadows come early to Yosemite Valley. The water of the Merced River is low at this time of year . . . but its stillness offers a reward of reflections.
A beautiful viewpoint of the Merced River flanked by massive El Capitan on the left and the skyscraping twin Cathedral Rocks and Spires, at Yosemite National Park, California.

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
As I headed north on my trip to Hay River and Yellowknife, I passed by this farm between Valleyview and Peace River, Alberta. It was a cloudless day when I first when by and I hoped that I would have a better sky on the return trip (and that I'd remember where the place was!). Well, both the skies and my memory cooperated with me on my return trip.
Not the traditional framing of Valley View since there were trees in the way and the lighting wasn't super interesting. The reflections turned out so pretty though!

Moonlight glistening on the Merced River with El Capitan on the left, Cathedral Rocks on the left. The lights on El Capitan are several climbers bivouacked overnight. You can also see the constellation Pleiades to the left of the moon
Hope you have a great start to the weekend. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Winter in Yosemite is magical
In the picture, El Capitan on the left, a very distant snow capped half dome and the bridal veil fall taken from Valleyview
We were up in Tagaytay for the weekend and I took this shot from the park railings around sunset time. The tripod was there but the light was changing fast so I didn't use it. I held the camera steady as I could while the wind was picking up a bit. The sky had those orange and gray clouds going on, and you could see the whole landscape below with houses and buildings spread out everywhere. There's tall grass and plants in the foreground that were swaying around, and the view stretches pretty far back to some distant hills. The lighting worked out okay since I caught it right before it got too dark.
when i looked out of the window the other day i saw on the other side of the valley some fog stacking up with the hill lines, so i grabbed my camera, walked up the hill on my side but when i arrived the fog was way stronger and higher and you could barely see the hills further away. with some raw-magic i made them visible and i think it looks great but it's not what i wanted to capture. have a nice weekend everybody
A panorama stitched from 5 images taken in the afternoon in January. I was delighted to get this shot with my NiSi filter which cut the glare in the water to reveal the stones in the foreground. My original plan was to get here for sunrise but I did not plan very well and could not reach this spot in time.
I've seriously neglected Flickr lately so I'll try and catch up a bit.
This was a perfect morning in Yosemite back in January, my last trip before lockdown... since then workshops in Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy and Germany have all had to be cancelled so I'm itching to get away again!
