Spillway Lake is in the Yosemite backcountry in the Mono/Parker Pass area, just below the ridge of Kuna Crest. Although the lake is not visible in this picture, it is in the basin below the far ridge.

I took a large series of pictures of the moon rising over Mono Lake last Friday. This is the first though not necessarily the best of the batch.

This stretch of Hiway 395 just north of Mono Lake is flanked by aspen groves rising toward the Sierra crest. The beautiful light at sunset changes extremely quickly.

I thought it might be fun, as the Sierra summer season draws to a close, to post a photo from the beginning of the season. Tioga Road opened late this year due to heavy snowfall. This image came from my first trip across the road in early July, when there was water everywhere and many parts of the meadow were still submerged.
