Week 3 – Wednesday

Wednesday night.
Phew… another big day on the road, and thankfully, the last one!
Although the down side of that of course is that it means that we fly home in 2 days time. Man, where did THAT 2 weeks go to?
This morning, we left Yosemite far too soon, having seen far too little of it. I did go out on my own at 5am to shoot some of the sunrise, which was a mixed bag. Yes, it was a clear morning, but what I didn’t account for is that the sun doesn’t actually light up the best bits until after 7:30! D’oh!
Still, I got some reasonable shots.
After we hit the road, we left the park via Tioga Pass, which took us out to the eastern side, and down between King’s Canyon and Death Valley, neither of which we actually got to see!
We did however have an amazingly good run back into LA, arriving in Pasadena around 5 o’clock.
The highlight of the day had to be Ellery Lake at 9538ft above sea level which was (mostly) frozen over. I got Cath to take a shot of Max and I standing out on the ice (don’t worry… I tested it thoroughly first). Again, this is the kind of thing we never see in Australia.
Tonight, we drove down to Hollywood (like we hadn’t done enough driving for the day!) to grab some dinner and have a little walk around.
Tomorrow, it’s off to Universal Studios.
Cheers,
Bruce.
