I think my shot of Third and Fourth Recesses from Pioneer Lakes Basin is
better than the one on the cover of the Time Life book on the Sierra
Nevada. Almost the identical shot, taken long before I ever saw the
book. Theirs has the lake in the foreground smoother, but I've got
better light on the Recesses. Maybe I took mine first, so they are the
copycats!

Somehow it was very comforting to me to have my own pictures of the lone
Jeffery pine on the So. rim of Yosemite when I hard it had died. Better
than AA's famous shot? Well maybe not, but pretty good. Of course I'm
not just sure where they are at the moment.......
