I drank the silence of God from a spring in the woods...

Kings canyon National park is a hidden gem of California. As a boy I had heard so much about the Grand Canyon and the American south west, I always assumed that it was also the deepest and the most grandest. To be fair I was not even aware of Kings Canyon’s existence before I moved to California. So imagine my surprise when I learned that this canyon was deeper than Grand Canyon.

The Kings Canyon does not have impressive views like Grand Canyon just by the roadside, you have to hike and venture deep in to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to see it in its full glory. I made this shot from a roadside vantage point to quickly show how deep the canyon is, I had to stretch my camera to the end of its abilities to get a decent shot due to the extreme variation in light. This one is a stitch pano of three images with a polarizer and a 2 stop grad ND filter trying to even out the light. Thanks again for all the comments and well wishes on my last post.
