COLORS OF LIGHT Photography by Charles G. Schafer



The Sierra Nevada is truly the Range Of Light as John Muir so aptly named it. There are many and varied photographic opportunities here, from the deep valleys and the sublime forests to the barren, alpine summits of the many peaks. And the vistas change hourly with the weather and the light.

Here is a sample of some of the beauty that can be found there.
