Donald Gould was homeless for a numbeer of years and when Sarasota, Florida placed several pianos around town, he sat down and played. What happened next is hard to believe and ALSO shows how fate can intervene to help turn a life around. The Internet and modern communications played a pivotal role.

Yosemite Falls is the 5th tallest in the world according to the Yosemite Falls Facts and Geology website. Several sources indicate that it is the tallest in the United States at 2,425 feet.
It is amazing how much power Yosemite Falls generates considering how narrow the feeder source, Yosemite Creek, appears to be. The water flows regularly from the snow melt in spring until early summer in most years.
The photo above was taken with a telephoto lens from the Four Mile Trail.

Every so often someone will ponder or ask the question outright: “Why do you take pictures?” The simple answer, which is often the best, is that photographs can be powerful. Did you ever see someone look at a picture and cry? Did you ever see someone look at a picture and smile? Did you ever see someone look at a picture and recoil in horror or astonishment?
I have seen all of these and I have experienced them as well. Oh, and one last thing…photographs can be fun.
