In August, 2006 I spent a week in Yosemite Valley.
This album shows some of the quiet places I found, many in early mornings and away from the crowds.
Despite the heat and increased population, it's not hard to find the "real" Yosemite if you get up early and use your feet or a bicycle. More photos added soon.
Green meadows and wildflowers abound in the Valley's springlike summer months.
