I grew up in the shadow of Mt. Shasta and for about 21 years never really appreciated it.

I  knew if it looked like this I was shoveling snow, had just finished shoveling snow or was going to be shoveling snow soon.
After moving away and returning about 5 years later I finally realized just how lucky I had been. I now look forward to that first glimpse of the mountain as I travel up I-5 .

Keep clicking,

I always enjoy the view of Yosemite Valley when hiking away from the streets. I also like to enjoy images in black and white since they trend to be more dramatic and show the structure of the image. I composed this image by putting Bridalveil Fall into the lower left corner of the image. It is the brightest spot in the image and attracts the eye. The lines of the mountain edges enhance this even more by leading the eyes towards the Fall.

Enjoy and keep in mind that images are actively created, not taken!
