8. I love talking about photography.

I check the Yosemite webcams all the time. Saves innumerable trips, and in inclement weather and at night.

Here are the bookmarks for the webcams. I have to truncate them because they are live and (mostly) go dark at night.

Replace the space with a dot.
The last "El Capitan" camera is on Turtleback, just above "Tunnel View" and is very sensitive.
I get star photos at night, and swear that I saw an aurora just before I went to the back yard and caught the very brightest aurora. (no others, though)

Here are SOME photos, all saved from the webcams in my browser.





Pleaides





Stars and climbers resting (I hope) at night.


My favorite
