Traveling Times - Yosemite National Park
This was the second leg of our travel: the trip to Yosemite National Park. It was a very long drive to Yosemite, but luckily we had the GPS, so we didn't lose our way. We stopped quite a few times along the way just to take photos. Below is one of them.
Traveling from LV to Yosemite and then to San Frans, we saw changes in the landscape and vegetation from desert to temperate, and then to semi arid. I personally love the desert landscape, because it gives me a feeling of cleanliness, like it is all dry and nothing is decomposing in the shrubs like what a tropical rainforest would be.
This is the first nice view we have of Yosemite. Needless to say, I had to stop the car and we came down to take pictures. The sun was setting too, which cast a lovely yellow-orange hue on the mountains, giving it kind of a dreamy effect. It got cold too, but still manageable. It just meant that we can save some battery power by switching off the air-conditioner. Somehow the pictures that we took didn't really do the scenery justice, for it was much better when I saw it there.
This is one of the scenic destinations of Yosemite Valley. The name of this dome might be called El Captain if I'm not mistaken. If not, it might be just another monolith, that looks just as good.
This is the famous Yosemite Falls. But in summer, the falls is merely a trickle, less than half the grandeur it would be in spring. 
This is a typical view in the Yosemite Valley. It was cool in the morning, but it soon got warm in the afternoon. Again, we should have spent more time in Yosemite, for when we first arrived there we were in a rush to get to the hostel that we didn't stop to take pictures at the beautiful landscape along the way. We didn't have time the second day to go back, which was really a pity.
