“Subalpine Meadow, Evening Light” — A ridge rises above a subalpine meadow and forest, Yosemite.
This is another “quiet” photograph — no brilliant colors, not really an iconic location. It simply captures, I hope, something of the feeling of being in the High Sierra as the day winds down, the light warms as sunset approaches, and begin to stretch across the landscape. It is a beautiful time of day — everything slows down, it gets quieter as people go to camp for dinner.

“[The author has] already discussed ancient water management systems, such as the qanats in Persia and other Eastern countries. In Europe, there are the acequias of the Sierra Nevada in Andalusia, Spain.
The hand-dug channels date back over 1,000 years to the Moorish era. Networks of canals, aqueducts and cisterns were engineered to capture and transport snowmelt, turning this natural resource into a sustainable water supply for agriculture. The high-altitude ditches had openings, allowing water to infiltrate into fractures and faults, replenishing the aquifer, and to irrigate the lower levels of the slopes.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗮𝘀?
✅ Gravity-fed irrigation that supported terraced farms and local biodiversity.
✅ Designed to distribute water slowly and equitably, even during dry summers.
✅ Stretching over thousands of kilometres, these systems fell into disuse in the 1980s but are now part of restoration efforts led by the MEMOLA Project (Universidad de Granada).
With climate change and more intense droughts, the Acequias could provide an ancient solution to the modern-day water crisis…”

In spring, you might find yourself alone in this ghost town, the wind your only companion. In that silence, you can feel the harshness of life in such a remote and high place.

Hype for the Future 135G: State of California Explained At-Large
Introduction The State of California is located along the West Coast of the United States of America and is the most populous state in the nation though containing a smaller land area than the States of Alaska and Texas. By population density, the state is toward the higher end, albeit not nearly as densely populated overall as the State of New Jersey or even the Southern New England states. Other states with higher densities than California include Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and […] -

In 2009 I set out on my second US road trip, driving from Houston all the way to Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. Along the way I visited Meteor Crater in Arizona, before reaching California’s granite domes and the cables of Half Dome. From deserts to mountains, this was another step in my photography journey.
