Ansel Adams and other photographers photographed Aspens in black ad white and I tried to do the same. I discovered young Aspen trees and the Tilden Park right outside Berkeley, CA and photographed them. I used Nik Silver Efix pro to convert the image into black and white.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Photographing gives me a lot of fresh energy.Enjoy and keep on clicking!

The wet spring created great waterfalls in Yosemite National Park. Many of the smaller falls were right beside the road. This one I found on my way home on Tioga Road (Hwy. 120). It was simply amazing!

When I came back from Lee Vining beginning of July I was disappointed as the sun was hiding behind clouds. I took some shots anyway and was surprised about the image with this beautiful sky.

On my latest trip during the summer I found Frazier Falls in Plumas National Forest. An easy walk for 1/2 mile into the forest via Frazier creek ended with this great Photo opportunity.

A little waterfall along the road into Yosemite Valley. Always worth a stop and doing some shots with the tripod. Whenever I am there - and it is quite often - hardly anybody stops at this beautiful place.

The blossom of a thistle attracted me and I had to stop the car and shoot it. One of the many flowers along the road.

I found this Fall on Yankee Jim’s Road near I80 (Colfax, CA ). The Falls are easy to reach via a very narrow winding dirt road.

One of my favorite spots to photograph on my way into Yosemite. A little creek in a left turn curve on Hwy 140.

(California Hwy 140 is the leads from Merced, CA via Mariposa, CA directly into Yosemite Valley)
