You are quite welcome! I think I'd go crazy if I had to wait 30 years (or more) until going to yosemite again
amazing place

I may try to pop along there next month as Im on holiday in vegas.
Im going to do the usual Grand Canyon and a few of the parks as Im hiring a 4 x 4.
This will be my third visit to Vegas and surrounding area but the first with my new camera so hoping to get some nice pics like yours.

Very nice set. I especially like the 2nd one - great sense of energy.

Beautiful shots. Yosemite is one of those places that have been on my list to visit for years and years.....better get that one done before I run out of time.

Great work Kenneth. Yosemite is a national treasure worth saving and, you have captured it quite nicely. I love the 3rd one. Thanks for sharing it.

Nice idea using people as perspective on the first shot. The fall is beautiful! The place is gorgeous. Where in the United States is Yosemite? Thanks!

I got the chance to spend one afternoon in Yosemite a couple years ago, while working in San Francisco. I could easily spend a month there, so much to shoot. It is one of California and the United States greatest treasures.
