Rock, Paper, Scissors

Uploaded: May 10, 2005

Description

El Capitan, Yosemite National Park, CA.

Title inspired by Andrew McDavid's comment under a friend's image of the same scene. Andrew, who LOVES Yosemite, said that this scene makes him imagine El Capitan playing a game of Rock, Paper Scissors with the trees on the other side of the Merced River. Andrew is a pro portrait photographer, who has a vivid imagination :-)
