Crane Creek Valley in the Moonlight - Covered by Fog - Yosemite

Everywhere in the Yosemite national Park are these winding Mountain Roads with no
railings. The road home to our Crane Flat Campgrounds (near the top of a mountain Pass)
was one of these very steep roads. It went from the Valley up the side of the mountain.
It was quite an exhilarating ride home every night.

This particular night, Fog had engulfed the Yosemite Valley. Heading home as we climbed
above 6000 feet, we noticed we were above the Fog in the Moonlight. What a Sight.
Those trees are the 100 foot tall variety down there in the fog. I put the Daylight shot at
the Bottom of this post, compare the two. It was really Cool seeing such a sight. Notice
To the left is an open area with a Large log cabin, It puts the immenseness in perspective.
The barren tree in front of both Photos is a 50 footer. Yosemite Fog, WOW !!!!
