Tunnel View - Yosemite National Park, California
Minolta XD-11, 45mm, Kodacolor 200VR, est f/8, est 1/250

Just found an envelope of negatives in an old book that I hadn't picked up in ages.  I took this photo in 1983 on my very first trip to Yosemite shortly after graduating from college and moving to the Silicon Valley in Sunnyvale.  As I recall, back then there was no traffic and we were the only ones at Tunnel View on this Saturday afternoon in summer - my how times have changed.  Today Yosemite is a traffic/people jam in the summer.

Looks great, even if it was from the stone age. ;)
