Drc claims there's a graphic/chart showing images of Yosemite formations side by side with famous buildings (e.g.: Empire State Building) to show how their heights compare. I called bullsh*t and he can't find it online...

Anyone seen such a thing?

I've seen such a diagram, with line art rather than photos. Couldn't find it, so I made this:


It's not exact, but it's close. The perspective messes with the comparison though... would be better to see a pure profile shot of elcap for comparison.

Thanks, all! nutjob, not too bad. Could be a fun project. I thought I remembered seeing what drc described...along the lines of nutjob's rendition...
