I was on a 4 day stay in Yosemite Valley with plans to photograph a few locations I've had ideas about for some time. On the journey to Yosemite I planned to re-photograph Tenaya Lake due to technical problems with a previous photograph taken the month before. I drove straight to Tenaya Lake heading east on Tioga Road (Highway 120) before turning around and heading into the Valley to where I was to camp for the 4 days. It was around 5:00pm and the sun was low on the western horizon, there wasn't a person around for miles to my surprise. It was getting cool this time in the evening, there was only the occasional vehicle driving through to Tioga pass and on over towards Lee Vining and Mono Lake along highway 395. All of the campgrounds along highway 120 were closed for the season so that's probably why the area was mostly deserted. It was nice to have this entire beautiful lake all to myself for a change, it was very peaceful.
