24 Sep 2008 LP #26: Puti at Itim (White and Black) sa Yosemite
 |  Category: Family, Litratong Pinoy, Travel

Kuha ang mga sumusunod na larawan sa Yosemite National Park (YNP) sa California.  1,200 square miles ang laki nito at binubuo ng iba’t ibang anyo ng lupa at tubig at iba’t ibang uri ng mga puno.  Ayon sa website ng YNP, pinakakilala ito dahil sa mga waterfalls na matatagpuan sa loob ng park.

Ito ang Bridalveil Falls.  Di tulad ng ibang waterfalls sa YNP na nawawawala o tumitigil sa pag-agos depende sa panahon, ang Bridalveil Fall ay patuloy na umaagos hanggang sa mga huling araw ng summer.

Angkop na angkop ang pangalang Bridalveil sa waterfalls na ito.  Parang napakapino ng tubig.  Napakaganda rin ng contrast ng puting tubig at ng kabatuhang may bahid ng itim.  At pagmasdan ninyo…ngayon nakikita ang tubig…

…ngayo’y parang nawala!

May mga taong naglalakas loob na lakarin ang 200 yards mula sa bungad ng daanan papunta sa falls hanggang sa paanan nito pero para maligo.  Wala kaming ganoong lakas ng loob!  Masaya na kaming magmasid malapit sa falls at kumuha ng mga litrato.

Dito nagtatapos ang aking lahok para sa Litratong Pinoy. Kung kayo’y nakakaramdam ng gutom,  may puti’t itim na biskwit dito, ang isa ko pang lahok sa LP.

Kung kayo’y may panahon pa, inaanyayahan ko kayong ituloy ang pagbabasa at samahan pa ako sa pamamasyal sa Yosemite, ngunit nasa wikang Ingles na ang akingn kuwento. :)   Maraming salamat!

oOo

We had a fantastic time at Yosemite.  It was just wonderful to be surrounded by the overwhelming beauty of nature.  Due to it’s size, getting from major scenic spot to another (by car!) can take some time.

Through a pair of binoculars, my little nature tripper got to take a closer look of her surroundings.

We walked a great lot and that’s the only way one can truly take in and bask in the glory of nature.  We’re glad we brought Abby’s stroller along.  It would have been extremely difficult to take a leisurely walk if hubby and I had to alternately carry Abby!  That would have been some workout!

Pushing a stroller against the pull of gravity is quite a challenge, too!  So we still had a fair share of cardio workout!

oOo

From the Bridalveil Falls, we went to Glacier Point next.  And good golly, the view here was even more breathtakingly amazing!  It was just unfortunate that it was foggy at the time of our visit.  That limited the visibility of the gorges/canyons big time!  Due to the high elevation, it was chilly at Glacier Point…chilly enough for a jacket!

From the spot where we stood, we could clearly see two distinct bodies of water.  Can you spot them? ;)

Let’s close in on them a little bit more. :D

It was chilly but this hiker wouldn’t hear of wearing a jacket!

If it hadn’t been foggy, the backdrop for this photo would be even more perfect than it already is.

oOo

On the drive out back to Mammoth after spending a good 3 hours in Yosemite, (bitin, I tell you!) we, stopped several times, this time, to take photos of clouds mingling with pine tree tops…

…and of lakes, too.

If you’re the type of person who cries at the sight of beautiful things, you’ll be a total emotional wreck by the time you head out of Yosemite.  Hee hee.

The tour ends here. :)   I hope you had fun and thank you for joining me! :D
