We took a trip this weekend to Yosemite National Park. When there I really realized how much things change and how much they stay the same. When I look through old photos of great landscape photographers like Ansel Adams I really see that this park will be here long after I am gone. I took a photo of Half Dome, in a very similar spot to where I had seen an Ansel Adams photo taken. I'm pretty sure his is a little better but when in Yosemite I believe this is a photograph you just have to take. I also added a photo of one of the many falls at Yosemite.
The only change I really noticed was the amount of traffic visiting the park, I'm one of the guilty ones myself. But even with all of us people trampling through this seriously awesome display of nature, the park seems to prevail over us. Maybe George Carlin was right, the Earth isn't in trouble, we are. Of course we did avoid a little trouble, we were about 20 feet from a Grizzly Bear, he just gave us a look and kept on walking. Yeah, we headed back to the car.
