Simply great moods in photos, Igor. Always a pleasure to see your favorite images. Yosemite is an immortal place.

Great photos. That second image is worthy of repro. You might want to think about a watermark on it.

Thanks Roger. Double take. I first read that as 'immoral place'.
I was surprised to see so many people in November. Years ago there would only be a handful at this time. The trick was to move around the valley floor
to stay in sunlight because it was muy friyo in the shade.

Yosemite in late November.... the forest reflected in lake says just that.
This image is stunning, Igor. I like it very much.

Beautiful photos of a beautiful place. Nice work.

Igor, that second photo of the river has been haunting me. I finally realized what it was...
A RIVER & DARK WOODS
..the river...reminds me a lot of a river I grew up next to (a long time ago!). As youngsters my childhood buddy and I used to load our Red Ryder BB
rifles and camping gear into an Old Town duckboat and away we went for a weekend's adventure. We always thought of it as an adventure into the
'unknown' of course, ...like it was the Amazon River and we were the first explorers to discover it!
Hah...2 days later and beginning to starve, my Dad would pick us up at the bridge downstream about 10 miles from home.
Nowadays, as I turn slowly grey...I look at the scene and it reminds me of a favorite poem by Robert Frost. How the times do change one's
perspective.
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,. But I have promises to keep,. And miles to go before I sleep,. And miles to go before I sleep ..."
Thanks for the photo memory jolt and the trip to Yosemite Park!

Thanks, Roger.
I posted it on facebook a few days ago and got a lot of comments. One said - "there is so much emotion in this picture". Which is pretty much what
you're saying as well.
