Yosemite

Remembered this when looking at Anurag's pics. Yosemite is one of my all-time favorite places. I've been there twice, and know that I can spend many more vacations there before I get tired of its overwhelming beauty.

The last time, Baap - a friend from undergrad days - and I spent Christmas there. Dismissing the tourist village and going backcountry, we hiked along a little-frequented trail, and reached our campsite by a lake beyond twilight. Too tired or lazy to pitch tent, we unrolled our sleeping bags on the rocks by the waterside and were soon asleep.

The next morning, we woke up in heaven -


We were so awed, we didn't want to move or breathe, lest we disturb the stillness. Thankfully my camera was close at hand. After fifteen minutes, a wind stirred up, creating ripples, and we finally got out of our sleeping bags.
