As the stars began to appear the moon rose in the sky. At this altitude you can see the stars so well they don't have to compete with the bright moon to be seen. I was pleasantly surprised to spot the Andromeda Galaxy rising just above and to the left of Half Dome. Haze from a nearby wildfire filled the night time sky and concentrated in the valley below adding an orange hue to the normally white granite of Yosemite Valley casting an eerie light on the valley. The fires this year have been harsh and massive and much of the fire season is left to go. The Rim Fire still burns on the north eastern side of Yosemite and I plan to head out to film it if I can see it tonight. Fires are a normal process for the Sierra forests but as with everything, moderation is best. This year was particularly dry and it will take literally hundreds of years for much of the burnt forests to recover. In the meantime other plants will flourish in the remains of the once dense forest. Still, the drive from San Francisco to Yosemite will not be the same wonderful trek through pristine forests. © Darvin Atkeson LiquidMoonlight Studios Follow me on Facebook

Best Viewed On Black | My Photostream On Black | Desktop Background Coming in from Fresno I rolled in to Yosemite a bit late in the day and was treated to this very much Rembrandt view of Yosemite Valley with the bright mid day sun was beaming down on Bridal Veil falls making it the spot light of the image. The lower half of El Capitan glowed a golden hue while the top remained dull gray due to the building afternoon clouds that are typical in the park in the spring time. It looked like some painting that Albert Bierstadt painted but it was in fact the real deal. The lighting was so perfect and I rushed to get the camera set up and this was my first shot. As expected, it didn't last long and soon the brilliant white gleam of Bridal Veil Falls was dimmed by the sun. I have seen the park hundreds of times but each time I come through the tunnel from Highway 49 the view takes my breath away as I exit the tunnel. The parking lot was full with the exception of one parking slot and I quickly grabbed it. I couldn't have asked for better lighting and this will undoubtedly be one of my personal top images on Flickr in the near future. Every so often you just get there are the right time and this was certainly one of them. At the time of this posting, this Yosemite Valley shot reigns as my Windows 7 desktop wallpaper. For those of you that have not had the fortune to see Yosemite, let me take you on a small tour of all the features in this image. Yosemite Valley lies about dead center of the California Sierra Nevada Mountains. It was carved by several receding glaciers over several ice ages that covered most of North America and the flat valley floor later formed as Yosemite Lake filled with sediment. Today most of Yosemite Valley is forested but there are still several large meadows hidden deep in the valley. This photograph was taken at the Tunnel View which is a few hundred feet below Inspiration Point where Yosemite Valley was fist viewed by the Mariposa Battalion. To the left you can see the single largest piece of exposed granite known as El Capitan. It is Yosemite Valley's single largest icon standing at just under 3000ft (910 meters). To the right, beautiful Bridal Veil Falls which is often lifted by strong winds as they enter Yosemite Valley and whip the falls in to a lacey mosaic of water and rock giving it the name Bridal Veil. In the far distance, you can see Half Dome and just to its left, Clouds Rest both suitably named. I was fortunate to get the cloud cover this time of year. The Icelandic volcano which has caused much havoc amongst European travelers has extended California's rainy season in to mid May and as a result, several storms have recently blown though Yosemite. Just two days before this shot, a storm blew though and dumped several inches of snow on the upper elevations. _______________________________________________________________ For the technically inclined who want to know all the gory details: Nikon D300 Nikkor 15-55mm 26mm (39mm equivalent) Mode - Manual f/2.8 1/1600s ISO 200 ND Grad Filter Circular Polarizer Center Weighted Exposure Manfrotto Carbon Fiber Tripod RC Remote Release Original Image Size 4288 x 2848 Posted Size 1920 x 1275 JPEG file used with only minor editing.

It also helps as I am often asked to take pictures for many of the tourist and wanting them to have a good California experience I always oblige their request and just continue to click off shots on with my remote as I take their shot and talk about the view. It is also a great place to meet fellow Flickr photographers. Hope you find this one as enjoyable as I do and please feel free to use the Original Size as your Windows or Mac desktop background.

Me in like three weeks oh my god
Sadly I've yet to go to Yosemite during the fall but the pictures I see from other photographers leaves me wanting. This is the 'Fall' version of my winter in Yosemite poster. I'd like to continue this trend of creating multiple seasonal posters considering we all visit and love places during different times of year. This also allows you to pick and choose where this might look best considering the color palettes vary heavily between seasons. If this scene isn't matching the colors you need be sure to take a look at the winter variation! ~ Please note the differences in border type when making your order! ~ --: PRODUCT DETAILS :-- - Printed on thick and durable matte paper with museum-quality inks. - Paper thickness: 10.3 mil / Paper weight: 5.6 oz/y² (192 g/m²) - Customizable Border Type. - Frame is not included. - Border margins may vary depending on print size. - Shipped in a hard and sturdy mailing tube.
Not just a great Valley...but a shrine to human foresight, strength of granite, power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra. One of the first wilderness parks in the United States, is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more. For tens of thousands of years, humans have changed, and have been changed by, this place we now call Yosemite. The Ahwahneechee lived here for generations, followed by the arrival of Europeans in the mid-1800s. The rugged terrain challenged many early travelers, with just a few—only 650 from the mid-1850s to mid-1860s—making the journey to Yosemite Valley by horseback or stagecoach. By 1907, construction of the Yosemite Valley Railroad from Merced to El Portal eased the journey, thereby, increasing visitation. Today, 3.5 million people enter the park’s gates to explore. We learn from the stories of those who walked Yosemite’s trails before us, allowing appreciation of their lasting footprints that led to conscious preservation.
