1/4 of Yosemite Valley by KaptainKaveman.
Yosemite Valley, Calif. USA. This is from Glacier Point. I think it 3 to 4000 FT almost straight down at this spot. Rail needed here to better grasp the scale. Rangers were doing "controlled" burns thru the whole park causing the "fog" in this foto. Cheap camera, no filters. bummer. Camera is catching all light reflecting off smoke, grrr! Never go in dry season. It didn't look that smokey in person, my memory of it is clear :) By the way folks, can you see the 3 Picaso like FACES in the cliff on upper left? Picaso faces best seen smaller. I noted the obvious face for starters. This is about 10 days before 9/11/01. 
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

Never understood "jumping" to death. Way too much time on way down to wanna change mind, hehe. Then theirs getting there, park fees, the hike. Forget it, I'll live another day, lol.

Breathtaking yes even thru the smoke, hehe. I felt numb 1st, stunned 2nd, transfixed last. A process of 5 min to a few hours delay for certain places. Yeah.... S. Sierra Mntns/ Parks did all of those things to me.

I really like this photograph! The sheer drop is impressive (something I try to avoid in non-photographic life), and, now that your notes point it out, I really like that creepy face on the left. Sort of a secret bonus....
