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!
This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

The Way It Was In 1932
