Hasn't voted | Thank you Tim! It was perhaps ideal, consolidated snow up high adding to the scenery, melted out on the approach, and very cooperative weather.

Hasn't voted | Love the compliment Eric! This one took some waiting around, for the sun drop down a bit for better light, yet not behind the clouds. I was really happy with this spot once I found it.
Thanks, Chad | | Posted May 18, 2010 3:40 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thank you so much Marc, my first one. And I'm mostly glad folks have enjoyed looking at it. When I saw the snow on the rocks in the foreground I new this would be a nice one... once the light started cooperating. | | Posted May 18, 2010 7:27 pm |
| Noondueler | That Granite Pass area is a beautiful area. | | 
Voted 10/10 | Good to see what it's like up there now. Wonder how deep the snow is around the Yos Val rim? Great POTD! | | Posted May 19, 2010 12:30 am |

Hasn't voted | Thanks Noondueler. It's wonderful up there right now. The snow is in great shape- not sure about Yos Val, maybe I'll get the chance to find out in a couple weeks... | | Posted May 19, 2010 10:29 am |

| EricChu | Congratulations! | |
Voted 10/10 | Your first POTD! And a well deserved one on top of it! Nobody can say here that it has nothing to do with photographic quality! :-)

Voted 10/10 | Hate to bring up the theory of "Global Warming," but this looks much more like
"Global Cooling" to me !!
And .. oh well, it gets 10/10 anyway.
I missed this when I worked at Sequoia NP in
the 1990s. | | Posted May 19, 2010 12:10 pm |

Well, the lake was melting. So maybe both. Thank you for looking! | | Posted May 19, 2010 1:55 pm |
| SoCalHiker | Very nice! | | 
Voted 10/10 | Congrats Chad. Well deserving... many of your other, recent photos from that trip could have made it, too. They are all beautiful. Cheers, Guido | | Posted May 19, 2010 1:10 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thank you so much- appreciate that. Yes, I got lucky with some nice ones from last weekend, when I was taking them I thought the one with the tent might be best. This turned out to be my favorite though... | | Posted May 19, 2010 2:00 pm |

Voted 10/10 | You sure know how to capture a scene that inspires one to brave the cold to see something similar 1st-hand. Thanks for sharing! | | Posted May 19, 2010 10:50 pm |
| | mrchad9 | Re: Drool! | |
Hasn't voted | Thanks Kris! If this inspires folks to go out more that's the best thing. Going a little outside the normal season is always rewarding too. I had great weather, and without wind it wasn't really even that cold. | | Posted May 20, 2010 12:08 am |
