My Yosemite adventure… part 12… in which I try, one more time, to explain how really huge those granite formations really are…

My Yosemite adventure… part 10… yes, they have a big, fancy hotel there, because rich people need to see nature too…

Desert vistas… part 3… (or): Well, I been through the desert in a car with no name, it felt good to be out of the rain… except it rained on me…
