Been there only once and only for a day. Have seen the pyramids, but Yosemite is a cathedral. You've demonstrated that. Congratulations - Mike

Michael, a sunrise is like the beginning of time and when the light brings magical beauty to the start of a new day, all I can say is thank you. All best wishes, Ed
