In Search of Yogi

The second part of the San Francisco trip was spent in Yosemite National Park. The home of Yogi Bear and Bubu, as well as where the Father of Photography, Ansel Adams did his thing. The best way to describe this place is that it isn't real, or it looks like the type of landscape you would see in Avatar or ice Age or something along those lines.

There were more waterfalls, cliffs and Giant Sequoia's than I cared to count. Definitely a spectacular place and somewhere that I would love to visit again some day.

Ears: Matt Mays
This guy and his band supported Gaslight Anthem, I was quite impressed with them, and ended up having a good chat with him after the gig. We talked about how I was on holidays from working on the boat in the Caribbean, it turns out he grew up sailing in Nova Scotia and still follows it. He was super interested in the fact that I do what I do, definitely a down to earth guy and if you have a chance to see him then do so.

This isn't the tallest or widest tree in the world, but for shear mass and size it is the biggest.
