Beautiful! You are so fortunate to live so close to such a beautiful part of our Earth. And I’m not just talking about Yosemite. I love central California! I look forward to seeing more of your photos.

Great shot and perfect timing. To all attempting to see more from this photographer by clicking on the link above, the address is missing a p. The end of the address should be ifp3. Unfortunate typo to a great site.

Gorgeous colors and wonderful composition help make a warm and positive impression for to think about as I get ready to head out into a very cold New England morning.
Thanks! It’s like oatmeal for the spirit!

Stunning!! You have captured both the stark cold beauty of a winter day in Yosemite Valley and the promise of the warmth of a new day to come. All in one photograph. Beautiful work.

Just perfection! Great job :)

Love that spot at Yosemite! Need to get back there, especially at this time of year when it is so amazing with the snow! Congrats. Really lovely shot.

Combining fog and morning light in the same composition is a very unusual mix

Must go to Yosemite! Must go to Yosemite! Must go to Yosemite!…

Marvelous capture. So wonderful to be able to enjoy this from the warmth of my house! ;)

Il fuoco e la neve: sono i contrasti della luce a rendere questa immagine affascinante.

Thanks, Joe, for bringing the typing error to my attention.
I’ve contacted Earth Shots about correcting it.

Thank you Joao for your interest in my posting. That was
an evening shot, not a morning one.
