Deep Thoughts: Guess where I was standing?

Guess where I was standing?

I shot this photo on Saturday. I want to make this a little contest. Can anyone tell me where I was standing when I took this photo? Be as specific as possible. The winner will receive a post dedicated to their blog from yours truly.

My guess (and I worked very hard at this) is Glacier Point: 37°43'44.26"N 119°34'22.78"W

I worked it out by looking where you lived on your blogger profile, then doing a google image search for waterfalls in california. I found one called Upper Yosemite Falls that matched perfectly. I then searched for this in Google Maps, and found a decent place you could take the picture from.

I entered these coords into Google Earth, and recreated the picture just to make sure: http://atheistblogger.com/yosemite.png

I'm 99% sure that is where you were; it was fun working it out though :D

Edit: On second thought, it could also be at Union Point: 37°44'3.73"N 119°35'14.59"W but the elevation seems a tad low.

Adrian - You win. If fact, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the creativity of your investigation. Nicely done. I was standing at Glacier Point near the US Geological Survey marker.

What can I say, Google Reader was empty, there was nothing to do on the internet (amazingly), and your competition popped up.

What's that saying? If there's a job worth doing, it's worth doing well. If there's a random competition on the internet, it's worth going completely over-the-top on.
