The Tuolomne River rushing across a wide bed of granite downstream of the meadows that bear its name. On a beautiful, blue-sky midsummer's day in Yosemite.
Looking south towards California's tallest volcano, and at 14,179 ft (4,322 m) the second-highest peak in the Cascade Range: Mt. Shasta. I took this in early July of this year, when there was still plenty of snow on the mountain, despite the plus-100º F temperatures in the valleys below.
Mount Gibbs (12,779 ft – 3,895 m) reflected in the waters of a small subalpine lake just below Tioga Pass, the eastern way into Yosemite National Park.
