Hubby and I found a road which wound up into the Sierras above Big Pine, so we followed it to the end, where it was closed off for the winter. We and several other cars stopped and got out to explore this beautiful area. Unfortunately, at some point, a fire roared down the canyon, destroying several homes and forcing the evacuation of the entire town. It's always saddening to see such destruction. But, up in the canyon, all was peaceful and quiet. SkyWatch Friday for April 29, 2011.

At least the fire could not destroy the beautiful clouds and sky.
Great scene.

I love the mountain view. So stunning.
So, is this Big Pine Canyon? Live in the L.a. area, but go whenever we can to Yosemite.
By the way, still snow there???
What a great shot of some magnificent scenery. Absolutely gorgeous. Mickie :)
