About
Just a few miles up from where I spotted the black bear is Amphitheatre Point which is a turnout on the Generals Highway, approx. 10mi from the Foothills Visitor Center. From here, you can see all three of the life zones of the Sierra. Below lies the Foothill zone with its oak and brush forests. Above lies the mixed- conifer forest, home to the giant sequoias, the world's largest living things. And in the distance, you can get your first good view of the high Sierra, as the barren, rocky peaks of the Great Western Divide appear on the right.
Photographed here is Moro Rock, a huge plug of Granite thrusting up out of the surrounding forest. To reach the top, it has a steep 1/4 mile staircase which climbs over 300' (91.4 meters) to the summit of this dome. At the top, are fantastic views of the western half of Sequoia National Park and the Great Western Divide.
Dearest Ray... what a pleasure it is to have you look at and comment on my photos. Your words are always so profound. Thank you so much... I do appreciate you.
The immensity of nature and the fragility of man meeting head on. These shots are always so impressive my dear Brigitte and I love the vertical composure of the landscape. Excellent depth to the scenario, great tones and superb details. Well done to you. All the best.....Ray
Great about and rock solid capture. It is indeed a great view from the top. Was there in early 70's. Glad you got to make the trip, always a humbling experience. Be well my friend, Stan
Beautiful scenery and view Brigitte! WOW:) I hope to make it there someday! That's a dream of mine to get to see that area in person. Great composition and beautiful colors!
