It looks like Inge Fernau has begun her (annual?) posting of fall color photographs from the Sierra Nevada. As I understand it – you can read more at her site – every fall she heads to the eastern Sierra and spends far more time than I do pursuing the annual autumn foliage and other seasonal subjects.

Base of Vernal Fall, Autumn
Base of Vernal Fall, Autumn. Yosemite National Park, California. October 26, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell
This photograph was made (as you may have noticed from the date) in autumn of a pretty dry year. For this reason I was able to approach the base of the falls much more closely than would be possible in other years or during the waterfall season. (Even if you did manage to get this close in, say, June you wouldn’t see anything but a solid wall of mist.)
Ansel Adams Special Edition Prints – Yes, You Could Own One
From the West Coast Imaging blog:
Price Increase Coming for Ansel Adams Yosemite Special Edition Prints Did you know you can buy a real silver-gelatin print made from an original Ansel Adams Negative for just $175? For decades, it has been possible to buy a print just like Ansel would have made it, thanks to his Yosemite Special Edition Print collection. But if you want one at this price, you should hurry–on November 15, 2007, the prints will increase to $225 each.

There are some links to the individual photographs in the original story, and they include some very interesting background information about how, when, and where the photographs were made.
