Description
The day I was in Yosemite, I heard people saying there were people climbing El Cap, but I sure couldn't see them!! I walked past Camp 4, a rather notorious spot for climbers--these guys are SERIOUS about their climbing. They're also easy on the eyes...not that I noticed!! lol

The tops of really enormous things are always so strange; I guess it's because we like to think of ourselves as larger than we actually are, and then we come across something like this and it's a bit jarring. It's so gorgeous though, and I like the choice to show this in black and white. It makes the scene a bit more surreal and abstract and I love the pattern this makes. I think this would also serve as a nice photoshop (or Gimp) brush, as it has just the kind of pop and excitement and surface excitement that could serve something wholly invented in a digital realm. I love the stark silhouette too. It gives this a nice sense of depth. And yeah, guy who are easy on the eyes are always an extra bit of fun: at least for the eyes and the imagination. I like this!

another beautiful shot! We stayed on the Valley floor on our first trip to Yosemite this past weekend. We are going back, too much to see in 2 days.

Better young men in good shape trying this climb than me, even in my best days! But you've gotten a great shot here, were you paragliding?

more beautiful b&w from you. Luminous light on the needles, luminous light on top of the great rock, and terrific detail on the face with all those striations & lines coming down the sheer stone. A real contrast between mass & air (sky & light), mass & line (the needles & branches, as well as the striations on the rock), and light & dark. I hope you continue with your b&w work, you're really going into its many chasms. Real magic in these captures...
