Happy Ansel Adams' Birthday!!

Ansel Adams was born on this day (2/20) in 1902.  Adams was, of course, a rock star in the world of photography, famous for his black and white landscape photography. 

Ansel Adams was a significant inspiration when I was learning photography.  I'd like to say influence, but that would give myself too much credit I think. I remember studying the images in his books in my high school library, and seeing his exhibit at the Smithsonian back in the early 80's. 

It has been over 30 years since he died, but his photographs live on.

So, what are YOUR favorite Ansel Adams photos?

My top 3 are:

Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico
