Petr walks the trail down from Post Peak Pass. Ritter and Banner rise up in the distance on the left, the Minarets on the right. A rocky area, largely of a gentle slope nearby, but steeper to the right and drops off a little to the left. It extends outward for a bit before dropping off and sharp peaks rise up in the distance.

The old view on the way up Post Peak Pass. Lines of granite rock left by the glacier holds in a small pond on the left and a large lake on the right. The land drops behind the ledge of the lake so that distant mountains pop up with little seen between.

One of a few ponds along the way. Rutherford Lake was also visited, but the editing to get to 4 images was vicious. Trees surround a green space with a tiny bit of open water in the middle. Most the green is some sort of water growth such as reeds, but there's some drier growth in front. A couple lumps of granite rise behind.

Little Yosemite Valley. An even wider flat bottomed valley than the last. This is also full of yellow-green short growth along the bottom with a few burned tree trunks and a few trees with green on the upper half near one edge. The edge is marked by the rise of fairly bare granite slopes, often steeply, to a series of rounded tops.

Cascade Fall, or just some "fall" that is actually a cascade on the way to Lost Valley just above Little Yosemite Valley. The Merced River, not in very high flow, sheets down a slab of granite before making a sharp left turn into a wide valley. The bottom of the valley is green with undergrowth, but also full of the standing burned trunks of former pine trees. The sides slope upward quickly in generally bare granite with stripes of green.

Merced Lake in the morning light. Lots of water with quiet air so quite reflective. Some shrubby brush on the shore and a limb above frame the bottom and top. Shrubby trees frame the left and a dome of granite with an intruding pine branch frame the right. Green pines stand thick on the far side of the water with more mountains behind them looking slightly smoky. The reflection is of the granite dome and trees.
