Of Moro Rock in Sequoia National Park that is. Elevation 6725 feet with 400 steep steps to the top. Took this photo back in June, sadly the haze/smog from LA is rather bad in the warmer months but still a very beautiful park.

thanks for having a look

Beautiful area. Kids and wife were kinda nervous on some parts of the climb! As Dimitri stated the blue really stands out.

I actually think the haze worked in your favor here. It provides a nice contrast between the very detailed foreground and the mountains. Very nice Toney. :grin:
I think I would really enjoy the view there, once I had a bit of oxygen from the walk up. :shock: ;) :lol:

This is an effective and unconventional shot that works well Toney. The typical shot would have been from the viewpoint (smog and all), but your shot of the viewpoint is good due to the smog diffusing the background.

How did you have enough energy left to take the exposure after all those steps, Toney? Beatiful shot. I would like to see the view from up there if you have it.

I have to admit, Toney, my shots of that rock are from down below. Yours could be considered a study in blue, very soothing in a place that evokes tension.

John that exactly was the intention here plus adding a little humankind to it also.

Mark here's two shots from the hike up and one looking back to the East and one toward the Western Divide.

Your last shot is about as good as it gets. Everything is in focus. Well done!
