Day 349: The photo in yesterday's post was taken from the site of the historic Sunrise Auto Camp, shown here in a two-panel panorama created by my maternal grandfather in 1932. His images were shot from a higher vantage point which I have not been able to identify in the field and shows Mt. Fremont faintly in the background beneath the overlaid blue sky as well as the unmistakable profile of the west end of Sourdough Ridge. I captured Sourdough's horizon from my photo, reduced it in size and pasted it over Gpa's shot at 80% opacity. The parking area shown here is the site of our revegetation efforts. Quite a change!
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

The Way It Was In 1932
