Morning on May Lake
Because of Yosemite's strict limitations on visitors this summer due to coronavirus, the staffed camp next to May Lake was closed and number of visitors far fewer than normal... which meant that as of mid-morning, I had the lake all to myself. Stillness of both water and air. It was sublime.
Later in the day I'd go on to climb Mount Hoffmann, the leftmost of the two peaks above. Even then, I was the only one out there on the way up, and saw only a party of two on the way down. A once-in-a-lifetime experience for a clear summer day, as this is a popular area.
