上周6周日我们一行6人兵分两路(两车)杀进Yosemite冰雪的童话和梦幻世界。
短短两天时间,在XuBin老师技术指导下,又有日落的大景又有雪的小景(树上和河里的石头上到处都有新雪,树上地下到处都有美丽的冰花),每人都大开眼界和/或满载而归(我是属于大开眼界的)!
按照Greg的建议,我们严格执行了“三光政策”:拍完每一处雪景之后,能破坏的就破坏不能破坏的就在雪上签上大名,不给三人行之流留下任何机会!哈哈,吓坏了吧?
别怕别怕,相信下周末又有暮色又有雪又有雾,“明天会更好”!
我这是先打广告,现在就坐在抢到手的沙发上耐心地等着看大师们的杰作了!
花絮1:几乎每个人都摔了!
花絮2:美景太多,结果我的车到处乱穿,和选对象一般挑花了眼,反而错过了周日日落!
Timeline for reference:
Saturday 8th
08:00 Car A got to Tunnel View: Yosemite Valley Overview, no fog, clear, OK view
08:30 - 11:00 Car A visited Bridalveil Falls: ice on the path so couldn't get close, shot some slow motion water in the merced river
11:00 - 14:00 Car A & B met at Tunnel View, drove into the valley for about a mile, hiked 1/4 mile over snow to the river bank, great views across the river and all around as a true winter wonderland
14:00 - 15:00 Car A & B checked into Yosemite Lodge, and had meals in the food court there (it also has a restaurant and a bar - I tried the bar at night and liked the bar!)
15:00 - 17:00 Car A got to Point A and shot a black bear and left; Car B stopped at Point A (river and El Capitan view, with snow over the rocks in the water) and got some great shots at sunset time
16:00 - 17:00 Car A got to Point B (meadows and Half Dome) and got lucky with some dense fog, got some great shots of Half Dome with the foreground trees in the fog...
Sunday 9th
06:00 Car A & B got to Tunnel View (Point F): Yosemite Valley Overview, no fog, clear, OK view, not great
06:30 - 09:00 Car A & B stopped and shot some good shots around a footbridge acrooss Merced River
09:00 - 10:00 Car A & B stopped at Point D (meadows and Yosemite Fall view)
11:00 - 13:00 Checked out and had meals in the food court again
14:00 - 16:00 Car A & B stopped by the Yosemite Fall trailhead and shot snow formations over the meadows, with Half Dome at the back
16:00 - 17:00 Car B shot Half Dome 1st over the bridge at Point C, then the meadows next to the Yosemite Falls trailhead, some great shots as reported by Yuhong; Car A tried some locations and ended up with nothing (挑花眼啦!)
Overall:
Probabally don't need snow chains, but need to carry them
Glacier Point is closed
There is an outdoor ice rink (skating) at Curry Village, ranked #9 in the world
Snow condition is great. with snow over trees, rocks in the river, and over the meadows with nice snow formations
Hiking boots!
期待。。
