[Leica] Another Yosemite photo

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Yes, the reflections caught my eye.  No polarizer - I have some for my 
35mm cameras and never warmed up to the effect.  We did go to South Tufa 
and Navy Beach.  I did get some photos of the formations  but nothing 
like the really artsy ones you see - wrong time of day.  But my wife 
cleaned out the gift shop in Lee Vining so all was well.  Thanks for 
looking.
