From the ridiculous (Manson) to the sublime.




Spectacular time exposure from the Ahwahnee Valley at Yosemite
of the towering nighttime "firefall" from Glacier Point. Started in
1872, the ritual treat became a tradition, last enacted Jan. 25,
1968. Public domain but THANKS to the WikiMedia Commons project!



Thanks for this public-domain book plate go to the WikiMedia
Commons project and to Mr. Jim Heaphy who scanned it from
a 1921 book, Yosemite and Its High Sierra.



A different view, this one a DOUBLE-exposure, using timing
to capture the famous firefall against a lighted California sky.
Mr. Richard Marklin can go down in history for so artfully cap-
turing one of the last Yosemite firefall displays! Marklin used
a fixed tri-pod (of course) to record the 35-mm Kodachrome
image. This is THANKS to LenseUs and Wikipedia! All three
of these images, PLUS, tremendous historical details) can be
read and viewed at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefall.

It featured a stainless steel roof, air suspension, the first memory power seats, and every other comfort and convenience feature available at GM at the time. 304 were sold in -58, 400 in -57.
Photo by me in a PA backyard, 1997.

Note that the stainless roof is in fine condition.
