The National Parks: America Best Idea

[Sang Tran]

PBS will be running a series of Ken Burns documentary on our National Parks starting September 27th. I was reading a quote from Ken in Time magazine this week "But Yosemite gave me one of the most powerful experience I've ever had - really rearanged my molecules.

So with that, I thought I like to share some of the pictures from Yosemite. You are welcome to join in and share some of yours from all of our National Parks.

Thank you RFC. And thank you to Jadlh for contributing your pictures.

Anyone else?

 

[NewBert]

Great shots all! I'm also looking forward to the Ken Burns series and have pre-ordered on Blu-Ray.

Jadlh - I think that your Mt Rushmore image is horizontally "flipped", no?

I have this on TV right now! Then I got distracted looking at pictures. And all I can say about your photos - my God this land is gorgeous.

Pictures here are spectacular. The series, not so. Good photography but the writing and choice of commenters left much to be desired. Not one of Mr. Burns' best.
