Description


Resubmission. Level adjusted and noise cleaned.

Once upon a time (late 1800s) in Yosemite Valley, lived a family of ranchers in this homestead cabin (left). There are some pieces of remaining furniture inside. You can feel the aura of life which was once here before. The structure far on the right was a cavalry office which was used for the first park rangers.
HDR from three different exposures. Added a bit of Mr. Contrast.

Location: The Pioneer Yosemite History Center, Yosemite National Park, Wawona, CA



Exif: F Number: 11, ISO: 100, FocalLength: 12.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D

You put it together beautifully - probably as it was "back then" - at that point in time was probably desert land and no trees in existence. Thank goodness for historic preservation. #7477902
