The Jeffrey Pine on Sentinel Dome: When I took this Kodachrome shot, I had no idea that Ansel Adams had made a black and white shot of this tree, 23 years earlier, from a few yards...

When I took this Kodachrome shot, I had no idea that Ansel Adams had made a black and white shot of this tree, 23 years earlier, from a few yards further away and at a slightly different compass heading. You might see a slight similarity between our shots. It is a shame that a drought in the 70's ended the life of this famous tree.

Maybe this PP is a bit better. The Eastern side of the Sierra Mountains are a bit more obvious.

Wonderful shot. Your photo brought back fond memories of long ago. I took a similar photo about the same time you did.

1/2 hour break....

I went downstairs and found a 16x20 print of the tree in our crawl space. I took the original photo (slide) with a Mamiya 645, 2 1/4” format camera.

My, the years go by, don’t they?

Thanks for your reply. The years do fly by, and, like Sentinel Dome, I'm missing a few parts. I took my shot with an Alpa 6b 35mm.

I like trees with character.
