John Muir called the Sierra Nevada The Range of Light. “Then it seemed to me the Sierra should be called not the Nevada or Snowy Range, but the Range of Light”. With all due respect to America’s greatest conservationist borrowed from Scotland, this week the Sierra was the Range of Dark. Summer storms made their way through Yosemite bringing dark clouds, thunder, lightning, rain, and hail. Once a storm descends, the light is lost. But if you time it just right, you may be rewarded with a nice shot.
