Nice shot Duder. It looks like a forest fire might have gone through there some time ago.

yeah, it probably was. there was some incredible views of the side of a mountain that was completely decimated and covered with snow, but I wasn't able to stop and get any good photos because there was no decent stopping points. The photo I posted was actually taken out the car window. :rolleyes:

Lovely shot - love b&w

Very nice photo. I'm always sad when wildfires damage areas like Yosemite and Yellowstone. While it is a very natural occurrence (sometimes), the beauty of the place is diminished for many years.

Bleak mid-winter. Definitely describes things around here, especially if you're stuck inside.

Nice shot.

Duder, was this shot taken recently? I am planning to go to Yosemite on the 18th, but having second thoughts since it is supposed to get hammered....suggestions?

Like it a lot.

That photo was taken from somewhere along the 140 highway on the way out of Yosemite. It was around the 2nd or 3rd of January. There was a lot of snow at that time, but apparently it's melting now. I plan on going back myself in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for all the other comments.

Here's another one from the same trip:
