Yosemite Valley

Today's magic mug is from the Yosemite Valley.  The Yosemite Valley is a glacial valley in Yosemite National Park in the western Sierra Nevada mountains of California (USA). The valley is about 8 miles (13 km) long and up to a mile deep, surrounded by high granite summits such as Half Dome and El Capitan, and densely forested with pines.

When cool, the mug shows the valley under a dark starry sky.  When hot liquid is added, the sky clears and you see a bright yellow and orange sunrise.

This mug is a retail purchase item usually found in the better Gift Shops in tourist areas of Yosemite Valley.
