Appreciate your photo and you - your thinking about the history, the people who came there. Thanks
I had similar thoughts when visiting Yosemite in May 2019. What might it have looked like for the first native Americans who arrived at Yosemite valley? What did they see? What were their thoughts? - I took some pictures with this scenario running in the back of my mind. And, I tried to capture some images that would attempt to show discovery of the unique beauty of this National Park.

Great shot, great questions. They were tougher back then.

I wonder if some people went insane living in such isolation - excellent shot!
