El Capitan in the clouds at sunset Saturday, February 23. What a fun visit to Yosemite last week +Lori Hibbett and I had… running into +Elizabeth Hahn on the way to the Yosemite Renaissance show, meeting +G Dan Mitchell and catching up with +Franka M. Gabler, +David Hoffman, +Michael Frye and +Claudia Welsh there, shooting with +Joe Azure +Michael Bonocore +Casey McCallister at Sentinel Bridge, running into +Jean Day there as well, then shooting sunset with +Daniel Leu +Amal Zerrouki +Paule Merlin. Apparently we were shooting near +G Dan Mitchell at one point but didn't know it, then +Aaron Meyers the next morning, just missed +Matt Granz a while later, then +Alexis Coram after that. If I'm not mistaken, +Mark Meyer and +Sathish Jothikumar were in the park that February 22-24 weekend as well!
G+ needs a feature which lets us designate circles for a "There's someone in your circle within 100 yards of you" notification.

beautiful capture
That would be a great feature! But it needs to work whether or not you have cell reception.
Great seeing you guys again, and love the clouds over El Capitan, even if it blocked HorseTail.
Goes to show you whatever yo belive who you choose to call GOD that there is indeed a God,,,What a remarkable picture..Truely Beautiful..
Good to see you and the others in The Valley last weekend. Seemed like everyone showed up... except the sun! No matter, I had a great time photographing clouds and fog and mist. :-)
I was. Was near the Yosemite village shooting sunset in Half Dome with +Joe Azure and +Sankar Salvady
I've been wanting "untethered" operation allowed for +Google Earth for years +Elizabeth Hahn, and that would allow +The Photographer's Ephemeris to run far more places in Yosemite Valley.
For the "tell me when my circle contacts are near me" feature I'd like to see +Google add to Google+, perhaps we could set the wi-fi IDs on our phones to something identifiable by Google+ (our 21 digit G+ ID perhaps), so the app might detect when we get within 100-200 yards of each other even when we had no cell service, and even if we don't all have GPS features turned on (I prefer to have mine switched off).
Assuming 100% connection to "The Cloud" is a fine vision for the future, perhaps a couple of decades from now, but it's an unrealistic and unnecessarily limiting restriction to place on general purpose applications today (outside of high speed corporate networks with extremely high uptime) given the poor state of wireless network connectivity in the United States (and the poor availability and adoption of broadband in rural areas, even in homes). There's a big difference between leading edge and bleeding edge.
It would be nice to have a feature similar to "Check In" on Facebook, where you can unpretentiously connect with people. I would like this to be somewhat selective- so one can choose to see only the people from certain circles, not everyone on G+ who happens to be at the particular location.
By the way, beautiful image +jeff sullivan!
I've been there so many times, and haven't seen this...very nice.
Didn't TPE just have an update to run off of GPS instead of cell signal?
I have used Google Latitude, but lately am hooked on Glympse, its far more flexible. But both require cell service. :(
Does one really need the sun in Yosemite ,there is beauty all around even in a snow storm or fog
