One of my favorite subjects turns 130 years old.

The Yosemite Chapel, in Yosemite National Park, California, is one of my favorite photographic subjects probably because of my "blind luck" in capturing this image in 2005. I was at the park in February with my brother and we woke to a snowstorm that had blanketed Yosemite Valley with snow. We rushed out to capture some images before humans or nature would destroy the snow! We stood along side the road and braved the falling snow (very wet snow) and the snow plows that were out clearing the roads. Here some interesting info on the storied past of this structure: yosemiteblog.com/2009/06/04/yosemite-chapel-celebrating-130-years/ I hope it is around for another 130 years!
