Dan's Outside

I go, I see, I do, I walk, I think, I like…

Visiting by Way of Two-Heel Drive?

Tom of Two-Heel Drive included this site in his blog roll earlier this week (Thanks, Tom!), so I’d like to welcome anyone visiting via his link. Since Tom pointed you here to see some photography, I’d like to give you a brief introduction.

I started this site primarily so that I could post photography of outdoor places I visit. You’ll find some recent photos below. However, this being a blog and all, the recent stuff scrolls of the page in a week or so. For this reason, you’ll want to check out the sidebar links on the right side of the page under Dan’s Outside Photography – there are hundreds of photographs there.

If you like the photographs, you may want to visit my main photography site, G Dan Mitchell | Photography, where I post a new photograph every day along with occasional commentary.

Thanks for visiting!

Welcome to visitors from Yosemite Blog

Loyd at Yosemite Blog wrote a very nice link to one of the photos on this site. Thanks Loyd… and welcome and hello to visitors to this site who came via his link.

Scroll down to see recently posted photos and stories here. Check out links in the sidebar for many more photographs.

My real photography site is G Dan Mitchell | Photography, so wander on over there if you get a chance. I post a new photo (nearly) every day at that site.

You’ll find lots of photos of Tuolumne, Yosemite, the Sierra, and points beyond. You can subscribe to RSS feeds at both sites if you are interested.

It's Warm Outside

From, somewhat ironically, Outside Magazine:

Iconic National Parks Endangered by Global Warming. New report highlights threats to 12 icons of the American West, including Yosemite, Yellowstone, Death Valley, and Mount Rainier. [Outside Magazine Articles]

Something of a counterpoint to a different view of Tenaya Lake I posted yesterday.

What? I wasn't the first? :-)

The black and white photo of Tenaya Lake I posted below no doubt looks a bit, uh, familiar – maybe because this spot has been photographed since the first people with cameras were there over 100 years ago. Oh, yes, and I hear some guy named Ansel took a nice shot there, too…

My friend Tom Clifton points to a picture he took from almost the same spot – I think you’ll enjoy it! (Thanks, Tom!)
