Today we visited Yosemite. It had been one of the highlights of our Honeymoon. Just as we had done 35 years ago, we rode the tram tour of the Mariposa Grove of sequoias. Among our favorites in the grove is The Faithful Couple, two trees of about the same age that have fused together and function as a single tree. We also visited the Wawona Pioneer Center then drove into the Yosemite Village in the late afternoon. Drove through yet another prescribed burn area. Apparently October is the season for prescribed burning. After marveling at the beauty of the afternoon sun on the high granite walls of the mountains, we drove out to Midpines to stay in a Kamping Kabin at the KOA.
Imperial War Museum
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
amazing photos… I love that top one of the sheared-off mountain top!
