Manzanita and Cliffside. Hetch Hetchy. Yosemite, CA. 2019.
Canon EOS 5DSr. EF24-105mm f/4L IS II USM lens
Visiting the site of Hetch Hetchy Valley is a very emotional experience for me. As I mentioned in last month’s Newsletter, damming and flooding this spectacular twin of Yosemite Valley in the 1920s may be among the most blatant scenic sins the United States Government has committed. But it is here, water and power is flowing to the San Francisco Bay Area. Walking the cliffside trail above the water brought this view of the complex form and color which I imagined could be a beautiful print on my Hahnemühle Museum Etching paper.
