October Vacation, Part I: The Points

Our first destination on our multi-stage journey was Yosemite, where the brides chose to wed. It was, undoubtedly, an ideal matrimonial location. Unbelievably, it was also a place Alex had never visited. So it was especially powerful being there with him as he experienced Yosemite for the first time.

Alex's first view of Yosemite. (not bad, eh?)



El Capitan.



Alex, viewing pretty things.



The first of many variations on this photo; same pose, different background.

Glacier Point
Friday, October 3, 2008

The day after our arrival, we drove up to Glacier Point with Cate, Deborah, and their families. As always, it is one of the best vantage points for viewing the Valley.


Half Dome. I slept there.
Okay, so I was 17, but still, I've slept on Half Dome!



The Ahwahnee, where Cate & Deborah were married, as seen from Glacier Point.




See what I was talking about? Same pose, different props.



The brides, the day before the big day. Nice backdrop.

very nice photos-----including the people in them----was Alex swept away
by the sheer majesty of the park?
In I955 in my first visit they still
had the fire fall---which consisted
of pushing burning logs off of
Glacier point and witnessing the
falling glowing enmbers from the valey floor at night. Quite spectacular !
guess who ?
