When we went there last year we stayed at a resort in Sedona and just did day trip to the canyon. Took lots of pictures but when we checked out from the resort I left the camera with all the pictures in our room and never got it back despite calls and emails to the resort. So I have no pictures and will just be content to enjoy yours.


Years ago I was shooting those trees at at Olmsted Point in Yosemite. I carried all of my equipment in a small backpack. At 10Pm,20 miles from home and 6 hours later I realized that I had none of my equipment with me. The Nikkor 105mm lens alone was worth $500. I turned around on hwy 680 and reached Olmsted around 3AM. The moon was bright that night as I scrambled across the boulders to the tree I last photographed. I had to be at work at 8AM. I drove out of the park but by the time I got near Groveland I couldn't stay awake any longer. So I pulled out the sleeping bag and crashed on the needles under some pine trees oblivious to any discomfort.

Not to change the subject but I just watched a Food Network special on Duarte's down in Pescadero. Used to be my favorite (out of town) place to go when I lived in Half Moon Bay.

Those are great photos, Ken. Few folks get to see the GC with weather going on, especially in the manner you did. Good eye and good shots. Thanks.

Couldn't agree more! I posted a review here of Duarte's a few years back.
