OT - One of my most personal profound moments was chasing this winter photo [0] and sharing it with a coyote. I wanted to take a night shot of the Cathedral Rock (that I had seen a few years earlier but didn't take a good photo of it) under the full moon and fresh snow. It took me several years of driving up to Yosemite when there was snow storm and one night I got lucky. It was around 11 PM when the storm stopped an…

Just wanted to say great photos.

Epic photo. Spending anytime with a coyote seems to be mystical in a way. I shared some time with one at another national park some years ago. It’s crazy when you are both experiencing the same thing, but not. There is something about looking a coyote in the eye that words can’t describe.

Thanks for sharing your story!

Sounds like an animal encountering a larger animal and deciding to not engage.

As a reductionist I'd have to agree, but I like the idea that the coyote was wanting to share that moment while thinking (and not being able to articulate) "Nice view, huh?"

I'm not denying that, I just think "spirit" is quite the leap.

Once you realize spirit describes the human wave-function you will stop being uncomfortable with the word.

It’s happening all around the world. Places like India has seen a remarkable drop in pollution levels. People are able to see Himalayas for the first time from their homes near by. Everest gets a break from the climbers. And even Ganges is showing levels of purity never seen before : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/travel/destinations/gang... [..] When the ancient Yamuna River in Delhi has reached a remarkable le…

or treat your effluent, or avoid it in the first place? Pretty sure it would cost less than shutting everything down...

Dramatically raise prices for travel, add lottery’s etc.

Because we have satellite coverage and people outside the park would be able to see smoke plumes, so if there were huge fires raging we'd know about it.

Ah, my bad. So I saw a headline this morning that says: "Amid coronavirus shutdown, Yosemite wildlife roams free" And I read it as "wildfire". I saw it first on my phone, then tried searching for it on my computer and realized that I misread the headline.

It's happened us all at one time or another :-)
