Last week I was again in the Yosemite High Country for a few days, camping at Tuolumne Meadows and photographing (mostly) along Tioga Road between there and Tioga Pass.
Conditions were... "interesting." Smoke from the Garnet fire was drifting across the area, and at times (mostly in the morning) it was quite thick. In addition, the areas was experiencing colder than usual temperatures for this time of the year, along with some inclement weather. So photography was challenging at times (when the sky was just plain gray and smoky) and better at others (when fog unexpectedly appeared before dawn in Tuolumne Meadows and on the last morning when I almost gave up after looking at overcast skies in camp, but found much better light up higher.)
The following set includes some of the photographs from this visit. Enjoy!
Update: Since the post title mentions Tioga Pass, I have added one more photograph made from that location.
(Next visit to the Sierra is likely near the. beginning of October, when the aspen colors appear.)
