Subject: [Leica] Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for communities like this one that extends beyond borders, 
beyond politics, even beyond Leicas!

And I'm thankful for the joy of the Sierra and for Yosemite.

This image is from our trip up Tioga Pass in early October. I know Bob Adler 
has found this same vantage point as compelling as I. The recent snow fall 
worked to reveal the textures and geometry of the facing granite cliff. I 
love the curves to the left of the columns and the curve of the canyon as it 
vanishes toward the east. 

I'm thankful for the opportunity to see scenes like this, wonderful cameras 
to capture it, great tools to render it, and a fine collection of people 
from all over the world who will look and offer suggestions and criticism 
and who share their own work to inspire and motivate.

That's a lot to be thankful for.

Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. The image is 12,000 pixels wide!

Comments, suggestions, etc most welcome.

Joy!
