Yosemite in January / by Nathan Halliday

Monday, January 27

The sun kisses the sky at 6:10am, waking the trees and warming the sweet, pine-filled air.

A sunrise over Yosemite valley.  

Its 24°F, crisp and green. A skyline of Ponderosa in my sights from the lookout at a weather station over-viewing half dome. Standing between hundred foot Sequoias, the magnificence of this place really hits you, expressing its prominence in reconnecting with the ever so present world around. Being able to feel existence surrounding us, an alive forest chirping in response.
