I'm not familiar with that event, although I do want to get up to that area sometime soon. As much as I like to shoot the breeze about photography and art, I guess I'd rather be off working by myself when I manage to get time to go somewhere. I already have your blog on my list of favorites.<br /><br />Younes: Yeah, this would be your kind of place for sure. Someone, probably Rowell's wife, still runs Mountain Light Gallery right nearby here in Bishop.<br /><br />James: You're right.. there is a kind of spirit that you can feel just walking around.Mark Alan Meaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872333914832970392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-31182485015670353832009-04-21T03:12:00.000-07:002009-04-21T03:12:00.000-07:00Amazing picture!Amazing picture!bemused26https://www.blogger.com/profile/03288651410815126420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-47803833736816450362009-04-19T20:52:00.000-07:002009-04-19T20:52:00.000-07:00gorgeous photography from a slogbite visitorgorgeous photography from a slogbite visitorRGC2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/09612995733838663120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-1351172701429557622009-04-19T15:02:00.000-07:002009-04-19T15:02:00.000-07:00Thank youThank youGeri O'Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291449078420767626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-9956483585059912002009-04-19T02:13:00.000-07:002009-04-19T02:13:00.000-07:00Great pictures!Great pictures!Beltran Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300075861672095154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-84863335422810777972009-04-18T07:59:00.000-07:002009-04-18T07:59:00.000-07:00Mark, you have wonderful photography, and I really...Mark, you have wonderful photography, and I really appreciate the accompanying text.

I guess the air in these regions is dry enough so that the wood doesn't rot very readily. <br /><br />An interesting survival tactic, to let parts die off. If I forfeit my toes, do you think I can gain ten years? lol...Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-8040152705221655402009-04-15T17:03:00.000-07:002009-04-15T17:03:00.000-07:00Thank you Mark for the wonderful history/earth sci...Thank you Mark for the wonderful history/earth science lesson...makes one feel very small midst the grandness and age of these relics which live among us!!
