Cathedral Peak, Grasses
Yosemite, California 2002

The Cathedral Peak trail is one of the most well traveled trails in the Yosemite high country. It's easy to see why. On this day it was the sharp green of the grasses and the perfect sky blue framing the peak that made me stop and make a photograph. I like the simple graphic lines of this image, but I was hoping for more drama. I've watched from a distance when the sky colors change from purple slate to gold to deep rose. Cathedral Peak will often draw these colors to itself, and wear them on it's slick, stone white shoulders like fine silk shining in the sun.
