From the Sublime to the… Bicycle Races?

After returning very late last night from a couple days of landscape photography in Yosemite Valley, today I was at the opening prolog stage of the 2008 Amgen Tour of California bicycle race. Could two photographic subjects be more different?! I’ll post a photo tomorrow.

G Dan Mitchell is a California photographer and visual opportunist. His book, “California’s Fall Color: A Photographer’s Guide to Autumn in the Sierra” (Heyday Books) is available directly from him.

Although I’ve been going to Yosemite Valley for, well let’s just say decades, this was the first time that I viewed the February sunset light on Horsetail Fall, the “original firefall” that catches the last rays of the sun for a few weeks each winter.
