Mono Lake, pre-dawn late June 1989



same place, same day a few hours earlier under a near full moon



Pre sunrise, Lee Vining Park, some early June day in 1988 after an early morning wake-up call from the park sprinkler system (that was when the the Greyhound from Lone Pine dropped you off at 2am and you had to spend the night to catch the Yosemite Bus around 10:30am)





Post sunset, somewhere between the two Palisade Lakes, around 8:45pm, July 1990



all images are probably on Fuji RD 100, which was the standard slide film they sold at that time.

After sunset, Bighorn Plateau, July 1990

i just love the bighorn plateau...

here's an all-nighter in b/w:

My husband doing his pre-dawn house cleaning:

Friends at Spring Lake out of Mineral King watching the moonrise. (The middle one NEVER stays still):

How about an after sunset shot during a near full moon night Aug. 1? This was in the meadow down stream from South Fork lake in the Cottonwood Basin.




Or... Whitney at sunrise on June 28...

Hi SM

Nice photo.
How was the smoke from the fire during your trip?

For this trip ( 8-27) the smoke wasn't too bad in the mornings and got a bit worse in the afternoons. Last weekend (9-04) was really clear. I'm glad 120 is open and I don't have to drive around the world to get to Tuolumne. 2 more trips to go and then I'll be ready to do nothing for awhile.... until I go back to my indoor job in Oct.

Thanks SM.
What areas are the other two trips taking you?
