Yosemite Tunnel View, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

Trying to escape the reality of my life, I ran away to an old favorite place. Late in the afternoon, the light falls the mountain tops and highlights Bridal Veil Falls. El Capitan is shadowed on the right and deep down the valley, Half Dome catches a bit of light.

Late spring is my favorite time to visit here, the Dogwood trees are blooming and the leaves are all fresh, the falls are at their fullest and the valley is not yet overwhelmed with visitors.

Hi Pat,
This one is a real winner with the endless mountain tops creating a marvelous sense of depth.
The light is superb giving the whole vista a soft feeling of tranquility.
The famous falls is the icing on the cake.
My daughter and her family were out there a few years ago and they loved it.
Regards, Tom
PS Thank you for your birthday wishes on Facebook.
Warm Regards, Tom

Hi Pat,

This is really a classic POV from Yosemite. I love the soft light from the late after noon. the valley is well exposed even in the shadow. Good depth and nice details. It is certainly a place that allow you to escape from the busy life in the city.

Excellent photo with great POV and composition.
