Twightlight on the Kuna Crest
With sunset now behind the mountains, I focused my attention to the small strip of pastel colors right above the Kuna Crest. I was a little annoyed on the first image because somebody left their lights on. I waited for a few minutes with no luck (he was about 1/2 mile away), so I took…

Sunset Over Tioga Lake
Well, here’s a few more pictures from my latest trip to Yosemite. I noticed a few clouds starting to form and was hoping they would be close enough to Mammoth Peak to photograph. That never panned out, so I switched to my wide angle lens (17-40) to capture sunset over Tioga Lake. Hope you like…
