THE SPECTACULAR SUNSET ON HALF DOME,YOSEMITE
WHAT BEHIND THAT MADE THIS TRIP A SPECIAL, 2015
Sequoia National park
Sequoia, the national forest in the south part of Sierra Nevada, with giant grove of sequoia tree (the longest living being in the earth) represent the green of Sierra Nevada. The king River (in pic) flowing down to the forest nourish the grove and to the west this river distribute water to San Francisco bay area. The drought in 2015
also made the water level very low : It concern us if it continue like that every year :what will happen to the national forest or what will be rising temperature .
MONTEREY, CA
Coming back from LA to San Francisco, stopping by to Monterey Country would be another excellent expedition. With an half hour stoppage I learn that this spot is the largest coastline of wildlife. Located to Central Pacific, with Beach, whales, winery made this country is just a biggest tourist attraction.
Hope to visit soon!
EARTH QUAKE ON Aug 17, 2015
On Aug 12, 2015 I took picture around the LAKE MERRITT, OAKLAND. It striked my mind " the bird seems like a little unusual in their movement " Anyhow, I was really happy of my picture-collections that day. On morning Aug 17, 2015 I felt very vigorous shaking! Yes it is not a devil who might shake us: Earth Quake that started from Piedmont with the scale of 4.0.

WHAT BEHIND THAT MADE THIS TRIP A SPECIAL, 2014
COULTERVILE, MARIPOSA
Coultervile,is a small town of Mariposa, once flourished with gold mining in 1800s, the country was rich with wilderness of Sierra Nevada in the southwest part of Yosemite. In the year of 2014, due to drought, the river(part of Merced) that pass through Coultervile became almost a dry land which strike my mind: only water could make it alive.
THE STANISLAUS National Park
Stanislaus, the far Northwest part of Yosemite attract the tourist with blue water of Tuolumne river along the forest. The country was devastated with forest fire back in 1987 at the Vista point where a memorial touch the viewers about this burned forest and those who lost their life.
This is part of the Tuolumne county.
THE HETCH HETCHY
Hetch Hetchy reservour, located to the north west part of Yosemite, the reservour connected to other falls ( Tueeulala, Wapna, and Ranchala), fall on Tuolumne river as named to the east, at the Centre with the tourist imagination of Lake Tenaya, the largest water sources for the wilderness. In 2014, due to drought of California, the water level in the reservour was frustrating! What would be the future for the Hydro Power or supply drinking water to Bay area!. Down to the south of Yosemte,water level was almost nil.
