This week I'm getting a fast reminder of what it means to be cold. After spending six years in the mild climate of coastal northern California, my blood had definitely thinned, and I was used to wearing the same layers of clothing more or less year round. Winter has finally reached Massachusetts this week though, and as I write this with the warm morning sunlight pouring through my windows, weather.com reports that my local temperature is 12°F! Yikes!
This shot of Upper Yosemite Fall is perhaps the coldest image I have in my files, since it at least includes a dusting of snow. Granted, this snowfall is from a late-season squall in mid-May, and temps in the valley were in the 40s, but still -- it looks kind of cold, right?

Brr... I don't miss the truly cold weather. I'm sad that you're not in CA anymore. I have really enjoyed your pictures and blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit to my blog. I can tell by looking through your photos that it will be a true pleasure to follow yours.
ReplyDeleteIt looks more than kind of cold, it looks very cold and oh so beautiful too~
ReplyDeleteHi Pat; don't envy you the cold air. It's 21 degrees celcius at 7.40 am, east-coast Australia. Your photograph looks to me ...spectacular. Those wide open spaces with so many textures, how magnificent a scene you've shared.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone!
ReplyDelete@Katie: I hope you'll stick with my blog even though it's no longer focused exclusively on CA. Although I do still have a lot of California images to go through in my archives, and I hope to have lots of new material from the Northeast!
What drama and clarity! I really like this shot. Makes me want to visit Yosemite even more. Enjoying the new frigged temps huh? I was just out last night on moses mountain trying to photograph the stars. It was a negative 2 wind chill! Enjoy :-p
ReplyDeleteVery nice ambiance :)
ReplyDeletebest wishes for 2012

Oh yes it does look cold and incredibly magnificent! Must be an amazing place to be in person.
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at your comment about cold. That's a nice winter day here - I guess it's all relative. I hope you adjust.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous image.
