And I’m thinking about eternity,
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me,
You be in me and I’ll be in you,
Together in eternity,
And some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me,
And I’m wondering where the lions are,
Uh huh huh huh

Great shots! You have a good eye for capturing moments in nature.

What great gifts that John Muir gave us! You’ve been blessed with the opportunity to follow the trail named for him through his beloved Range of Light! Here’s one of my favorite quotes: “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to stay in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul.”
I just returned from a jaunt through Mono Pass and my experience is still reverberating within me. Your photography really caught the beauty of your walk.

Hey this is great, wonderful pictures, and Bruce Cockburn is amazing. I like the line: Up among the firs where it smells so sweet, your down in the valley where the river used to be. Thanks

I was out on the JMT in August ’06. What an incredible hike. I’m headed backout there again this summer with my 18 y.o daughter.
What an awesome photo montage! Bruce Cockburn and the JMT. Perfect together!

We got a couple days of afternoon storms and showers but for the most part it was classic Sierra weather!
