Last 28th may a hiker slipped on a wet slab of rock at the base of the Upper Yosemite Falls stream, being flushed about 30 meters (100 feet) down the rapids, but still able to hang to a large boulder and resting on top of it waiting for rescue.

I was hiking the Yosemite Falls trail when the heli search and rescue team approached the falls. While I shot the scene (fallen hiker wasn’t visible from my viewpoint) the heli pulled back and hiking ground rescue teams hurried past me to the location. Luckily, he ended up being rescued, alive.

And I got a heli in front of a huge waterfall!!

At some point even the birds will travel away to a desired location, leaving behind a gorgeous place like this one. At some point you have to let go… At some point you have to learn how move on with your life… At some point you will remember this place or that beloved one… At some point you really should realize that you are still breathing… there is always will be “At some point” in our lives to either awaken us, remind us or to teach us a lesson in this life… For me at this point, i do appreciate each one who read this description and I’m happy to know him/her. We haven’t met face to face, but i love the idea of building respectful relationship between us even if we don’t meet. =================================================== It was the last Sunset at this beautiful city Como before heading to Milan in 2013. Love the place and it was a magical moment with my beautiful wife to watch the sun goes to the other side of the earth.
