Title: Happy New Year from Yosemite
Post by: HSakols on January 02, 2016, 01:00:26 pm: My wife is always up for a wintery cold overnight over New Year's Eve. It was a bit cold and of course it got dark quite early making for a long night of sleep. Still there is something magical about winter mountain light.

And of course on the way home, I had to stop to admire the black oaks in El Capitan Meadow.

And the more one looks at it the better it gets too!

Congratulations Hugh
