Valley View 1 - a photo on Flickriver

Valley View 1

            We took a short trip to mighty Yosemite last week. It was hot. It was dry. Any picture with clouds was in the mountains, all pictures without were in the valley, but oh! the Valley.

This is the somewhat famous Valley View at the west end. That's famed El Capitan on the left and the Cathedral on the right. I've literally dreamed of standing on this spot, at a bend in the Merced River. I've seen this spot photographed beautifully before - particularly in the winter. I had, however, no idea of what it took to get here - to this very scenic spot - but I finally found out. About eight feet behind me was, quite simply, my car. Yes - this is a parking lot picture. I hiked a little to the right but it didn't get any better - this is the spot. And that's probably why they put the dang parking lot where they did. Turns out they had a lot of parking lots in very luscious spots. Good plan that.

More to come.
