A few days ago I was watching Oprah Winfrey Show on Diva Channel (702 on Astro) and the show was about Oprah went camping at Yosmite National Park. I was so amazed with the beauty of that place. Sangat jealous ngan Oprah sebab die dapat pegi sana...heee
So....Yosemite National Park is now in my list of places I wanted to go...Walaupun Taman Negara di Malaysia pon saya blom sampai, tak salah kan untuk mempunyai impian untuk ke sana.
Disebabkan kekaguman yang teramat sangat pada kecantikan alam ciptaan Allah disana, I Googled to get some info on Yosmite. Let us first see few photos of Yosemite National Park yang dah buat saya totally fall in love with the place....
A lil bit of info about Yosemite from UNESCO: World Heritage Convention.
Yosemite National Park lies in the heart of California. With its 'hanging' valleys, many waterfalls, cirque lakes, polished domes, moraines and U-shaped valleys, it provides an excellent overview of all kinds of granite relief fashioned by glaciation. At 600–4,000 m, a great variety of flora and fauna can also be found here.
Yosemite National Park vividly illustrates the effects of glacial erosion of granitic bedrock, creating geologic features that are unique in the world. Repeated glaciations over millions of years have resulted in a concentration of distinctive landscape features, including soaring cliffs, domes, and free-falling waterfalls. There is exceptional glaciated topography, including the spectacular Yosemite Valley, a 914-meter (1/2 mile) deep, glacier-carved cleft with massive sheer granite walls. These geologic features provide a scenic backdrop for mountain meadows and giant sequoia groves, resulting in a diverse landscape of exceptional natural and scenic beauty.
Criteria
- Yosemite has exceptional natural beauty, including 5 of the world's highest waterfalls, a combination of granite domes and walls, deeply incised valleys, three groves of giant sequoia, numerous alpine meadows, lakes, diversity of life zones and variety of species.
- Glacial action combined with the granitic bedrock has produced unique and pronounced landforms features including distinctive polished dome structures, as well as hanging valleys, tarns, moraines and U-shaped valleys. Granitic landforms such as Half Dome and the vertical walls of El Capitan are classic distinctive reflections of geologic history. No other area portrays the effects of glaciation on underlying granitic domes as well as Yosemite does.
WhatSoEva~ Ciptaan Allah memang sangat hebat. Tiada bandingnya. Cuma kita, humans je slalu xtau bersyukur and menghargainya. bit by bit, the beauty of the earth created by Allah is destroyed and akibatnya kita juga yang merasainya...
P/s: Pegi sungai congkak or Ulu yam je la dlu.....heee
May Allah Bless~
