A quick post for Silent Sunday as we look back at some of the photos I took when I visited Yosemite back in 2015. I mean it too, it will be quick. I have to be somewhere soon.
Silent Sunday – Yosemite
I only spent about 24 hours there. Though, when I was travelling to the US I had no idea that I would be going there. My friends let me know after I arrived and I was so surprised. So happy. It is such a beautiful place.
When we went to Lake Tahoe, and then Yosemite after, it really was the first time I ever experienced mountains. We have them here in Australia, but the tallest one is only just over 7000 feet. The ones I was seeing there were a lot bigger.
Mountains
The first night in the mountains I woke up and realised that I was having trouble breathing. It was harder to do. In the morning I was told it was because the air was thicker with the higher altitude. Even doing a small walk was hard, I would be gasping.
I had heard about altitude sickness and thought I had it the first day when we went to the top of a mountain at Squaw Valley. Very quickly I did some research and realised I was probably dehydrated so I started drinking water. It wasn’t long before I was feeling better.

While I wasn’t there wasn’t long I did manage to get a few photos. It would be wonderful to spend a week there and explore the area. When I was in New Zealand it reminded me how much I love mountains. I would really love to go back to Yosemite one day, and maybe even Yellowstone. Who knows.
Those tall trees, wow
They certainly are.
Incredible landscape and everything look so pristine…
Thank you for sharing Leanne 🙂
It is quite a place Sreejith, thank you.
Leanne, Nice… you are quite the traveler! 🙂
Thank you Jack, I”m not really, I’ve only been overseas 3 times, but I want to start seeing a lot more in Australia.
Beautiful! The trees with their reflection on the water is my favorite!
Thank you, that was a good find, though I wish I had spent more time and walked along the water more.
