Description
After four years of drought, Bridalveil Falls in Yosemite National Park creates the "wow" factor again.
For months Carol and I have entered Yosemite via Mariposa. Monday, the drive was by way of Highway 41 through Fish Camp. As we came through the tunnel our mouths opened wide to the view before us. The water coming over Bridal Veil was magnificent. Ordinarily, with the harsh midday, overhead sun, I wouldn't bother taking a picture. Seeing the amount of water rushing over the falls, the clouds, iconic El Capitan and Half Dome, the shadows, and light added to the majesty of the scene. At first sight, clouds shadowed the falls, but when the clouds moved and light appeared on the falls I ran to the car for the camera and tripod. It made be realize again, that "Photography is painting with light." Miroslav Tichy
