Thanks Anil!

I appreciate it. As a relative newcomer I'd paid little attention to the weekly pics and found a nice surprise this morning. Frankly, I thought there were stronger images in ESS, but then I didn't get to vote... :-)

Good job, Lon! It is an excellent photograph. I am really liking your Yosemite series! There is great consistency in the quality of the images as well as with the intimacy of the scenes.

I was talking to Dan Baumbach tonight and we were discussing our love for Yosemite. I remarked that your series and the ones he (Dan) posted a while ago really inspired me to look at The Valley in a new way.

I think most people get sucked into the grandeur of the big walls and the big waterfalls and don't necessarily see that which is at their feet.

Thanks for the wonderful images, and the inspiration!
