Three Brothers

It's late autumn in Yosemite and life is slowing down in the valley.
The majestic waterfalls that Yosemite Valley is known for have all but stopped flowing as the watershed that they draw from have dried up due to the long, hot, dry summer.
The now still waters of the Merced River become a mirror reflecting the valley from all sides.

Bridalveil Falls

Bridalveil falls is usually the first major waterfall that most visitors see as they enter Yosemite Valley. A very common image of this fall is taken from the Tunnel View parking lot up on highway 41. I have a number of images captured from Tunnel View as it's a very beautiful overlook.
This image was taken from across the Merced River during the spring time.

North Valley Panoramic

Yosemite National Park is filled with so many breathtaking vistas. I continuously walk around in awe of the beauty. Yosemite Valley seems to have one landmark right after another.
This image was captured from Glacier Point on the first day that the road was open for the spring. This area can receive up to and over 500 inches of snow per year.

Storm Brewing

Tunnel View. This has to be my favorite view of nature in all the world. This is located on State Highway 41 and is one of the first views that most visitors to the park will see of Yosemite Valley.
On the right in this image is Bridalveil Falls. Bridalveil Falls is one of the most prominent waterfalls in the park and typically flows year long except during dry years.

Snow Kissed Valley

This shot was taken as a winter storm was clearing the valley. The morning was cold and nasty but as the day moved on the sun started to break through.
On the left is El Capitan in it's proud glory. On the right you have Bridalveil Falls, The Three Brothers, and in the center back is Half Dome.

Enchanted Valley

Yosemite Valley and more specifically, Yosemite Tunnel View is one of my favorite places to sit and watch the world go by.
This view is often on of the first views newcomers see as they come into Yosemite Valley. You drive through the tunnel and Yosemite in all her glory open up in front of you.
Fog is obscuring all but Bridalveil Falls and the parts of the valley.

Yosemite Valley Panoramic

This is a panoramic image of Yosemite Valley. I created this by taking a series of images from the Tunnel View parking lot and stitched them together.
This was taken in early spring so Bridal Veil Falls was flowing at capacity in the lower part of the image. This image captures most of the major formations in Yosemite Valley.

Firefall

Firefall is a relative newly discovered phenomenon discovered in Yosemite National Park not to be confused with the old firefall that was manmade.
I've been to Yosemite on 8 different occasions trying to capture this and have been skunked 7 times. This year everything finally lined up properly and this was the results I achieved.

Dogwood Dream

In Yosemite Valley you can explore nature from the micro level to the macro-grand level.
In the springtime the dogwoods along the Merced River bloom in large white flowers and the river serves a wonderful backdrop for these beautiful flowers.
This image was digitally converted with a painterly effect to give it a soft, colorful dreamlike look.
