Yosemite National Park

Gates of the Valley

We were treated to a gorgeous display of light at this iconic location just as we were about to pack up and leave!

Another classic valley icon, the setting sun illuminates Half Dome. As seen from Sentinel Bridge.

Half Dome from Sentinel Bridge

This is the view of Half Dome from Sentinel Bridge. This is a popular area for photographers at sunset, and one can often find it hard to find place for a tripod on the bridge! The setting sun illuminates the dome and the surrounding trees thereby causing a colorful reflection on Merced river.

Deer, Tuolomne Meadows

Tuolumne Meadows is a gentle, dome-studded sub-alpine meadowy section of the Tuolumne River, in the eastern section of Yosemite National Park.

Gates of the Valley, Dusk, Yosemite National Park

The last shot of the trip - we arrived at the Gates of the Valley as the setting sun was providing a pink glow to the whole scene. The snow covered foreground rocks and the flowing Merced river completed the composition.
