Shoot XVI - "Glacier Point, Yosemite"

And, the state of the week was North Dakota! Such musical talent from the "Peace Garden State!" But our ever-observant followers were ready with ND - Michelle, Milt, Elaine, Peyton, and Joani.  Mike Di was oh so close!

"Glacier Point"

I got to Yosemite fairly early and was able to check in. Walking around the hotel lobby I overheard a few people as they discussed booking a tour to Glacier Point. Since I had nothing on my agenda at this time, I figured, why not! 

As the bus wound its way up the steep climb towards Glacier, the light brightened - we were on top of the world, or so it seemed. As soon as I hit the parking lot, I pulled out my tripod and started clicking away. After a few hundred shots of the peaks, the clouds, and the surroundings, I changed to my fisheye lens.

This 8mm lens can play tricks with the view at times. I liked what the fisheye saw this time as it gave me a wonderful perspective of the clouds at the Point. 

Thought for the week. . .

Found these most interesting outlooks on life:

Too many people spend money they haven't earned 

to buy things they don't want, 

to impress people they don't like.

Leaving you with a smile, I hope. . .

Remember "I" before "E,"
