El Capitan in the Icy Fog

1911 1920 Liberty Thermionics

The next day further up the Merced El Capitan’s base was engulfed frozen fog. This image was made during the late morning when the fog was burning off. Standing in the fog is amazing as over the course of just 30 minutes the weather goes from wet and freezing cold, to rather warm with dry air blowing around the valley.

Half Dome in the Freezing Fog

1909 1920 Liberty Thermionics

The fog has just started filling the valley. Standing there it feels like the temperature drops 25 degrees over the course of just a couple of minutes. In the distance the Yosemite Valley Shuttle pulls out of Curry Village towards Mirror Lake.

Yosemite Valley – Photographer in the Afternoon Fog

1906 1920 Liberty Thermionics

As the afternoon progresses something strange happens in the valley. It’s most likely due to the setting sun radiating less heat down onto the surface. As the air near the ground cools due to the snow and ice covering it and the air up a little bit higher stays warm it produces this rather amazing frozen fog. Out in the…

1911 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Sorry for the lack of updates lately.. i missed a few weekends of shooting, first, well both, because of work, and then i got rather ill and spent the week watching Orange County Choppers, Rachel Ray and Myth Busters (etc), and feeling sorry for myself, all in between my naps on the couch. I’m mostly through that whole episode now…

Marin Headlands – Just North of San Francisco

1913 1920 Liberty Thermionics

This is on the road right next to the missile base i mentioned yesterday. There are these two buildings that i’ve driven by several times. I assume that early most foggy Saturday mornings in the Marin headlands there are only about 4 things going on: mindless driving around by tourists or out of town visitors, bicycling, picture taking, and the…
