Picture: Sunset light at the base of Cathedral Rock in spring, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California.
This image is about as far off as possible from how the Valley looked today. I’d been watching the Valley Live Cam for several hours this afternoon, and due to a series of late winter cold fronts, snow and grey clouds shrouded the cliffs well into the evening. This photo however, was taken just about a year ago. This is one of the few photos I’ve taken of the Valley that immediately remind me of one of Albert Bierstadt’s paintings. My own feeling is because of the strength of the directional sidelighting.
