Seeing Yosemite with David A. Curry (1916)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
This Travelogue has some interesting title cards as we see David A. Curry shouting and then where his shout is "pointed" is a description of what we're about to see. This film is actually extremely entertaining because we get some beautiful shots of the location including visits to Mirror Lake, Tenaya Canyon the Mt. Lyell Glacier as well as the highest point of Mt. Lyell. Those familiar with this area will certainly get a kick out of seeing how it looked nearly a hundred years ago. Even if you're not familiar with the location, there's no question that we get some terrific visuals here including many funny shots of the climbers just sitting around having some fun with the camera. This is the scene at the highest point where the climbers decide to eat and one joker seems to have some issues with the food. Overall this here isn't anything ground-breaking but it's excellent to get to see these images.
