Steve’s Rock - California
I saw this photo today & just had to post it:
This HUGE boulder is sitting just above Tioga Pass at 8,500′ Elevation overlooking Half Dome and the Yosemite Valley. The rock is situated on a Major Airline Flightpath so it took the photographer quite a few takes to get the photo right without any planes flying overhead.

This caption is utter crap. Any idiot who has ever seen a time lapse photo of the night sky can tell that the lights in the background are STARS and not PLANES. Isn’t it strange that all these “planes” curve in exactly the same way as if that were going around in a circle? Isn’t it strange that they have their lights visible, creating a streak for the exact same distance wherever they appear in the picture? Let’s use our heads here people and not post thoughtless captions like this.
Be critical.
NotA Moron, you’re missing the point. The main idea of the picture is that it’s balancing on that one corner and looks like it’ll tumble down the valley in any second.

I have to agree with he/she who is not a Moron…The glaring error in caption is very distracting and to me and much more interesting than some hunk of rock that a glacier left teetering on top of a hill. Thinking that the star-trails from the time-lapse photo were planes is just breath-taking and truly worth commenting on. Speaking of Main Ideas, how about a 12-pack and a bottle-jack? I mean, it’s just a thought.
Ummm…. guys the caption says that he had to try several times to get the shot WITHOUT any planes overhead. So, being a reaoning human, I would assume that the photo does not have any planes overhead. And, yes, any moron can tell that they are stars, as the first comment proves.
