Interning in Yosemite for a summer: again

So I've been working in Yosemite for the past 7 weeks so it's almost over unfortunately but it's been really fun. Last summer I worked in Environmental Management but this summer I'm working in Education. I've been pretty busy so this post won't be as constant as last year and I'm also living in Wawona throughout the entire week instead of living in Yosemite Valley for half the time which means I get a bit less photogenic valley time. I also don't have a personal vehicle which makes it difficult to get around. Here's a few shots I've got so far.

    Sentinel is one of my favorite hikes. I've hiked it and skied it :D

    Great variety of pictures too.

    Love the lighting for "Jeffery Pine on Sentinel Dome". Is that natural or flash?

    Thanks for the compliments everyone. The Jeffery Pine on Sentinel Dome picture was light painted with a headlamp (or flashlight). The angle was from the left side of the camera if I remember correctly.

    Like the last one. Can you lighten the foreground a bit? That'd make it killer :D
