Hey Terry, that pic of Davidcmc58's IS the Fallen Monarch in Mariposa Grove. Look closely and you'll see that it doesn't have the burned out tunnel that your shot does. I wouldn't be so confident except that I just saw the tree in your photo last week when I was in the Tuolumne Grove. It looks similar to the Fallen Monarch but smaller and has the tunnel.
Ironically it appears there aren't any pics of the tree in your image on Panoramio!
Come on in and take a look through the eyes of this visually impaired photographer.
I was born with damaged Optic Nerves, a condition called Bilateral Optic Atrophy Leaving me with 20/200 vision that is non correctable. This classifies me as legally blind.
Ever since I was very young, I have been obsessed with photography I soon learned how to print photos. Although it is difficult to select correct focus through a 35 mm camera, I until recently, used manual focusing Minolta cameras.

I may head back to Yosemite in a couple of weeks and if I do I will definitely track down this tree and map it with my gps!
And while I'm at it, I'll take pics of the similar tree in the Tuolumne Grove and map that one too!
