"Yosemite Valley Trees and Snow"

March 2009, Yosemite National Park, California

An overnight winter storm had passed through Yosemite Valley.  I arrived at the park early enough to shoot this image before anyone had a chance to disturb the virgin snow covering the valley floor.

"Yosemite Chapel in Spring"

May 2002, Yosemite National Park, California

Built in 1879, this famous landmark in the heart of Yosemite Valley is the oldest building in the park.  It is still an active church, holding services throughout the year for a variety of denominations.
"Yosemite Falls and Merced River"

May 2002, Yosemite National Park, California

Yosemite National Park, and Yosemite Valley in particular, is so absurdly beautiful that it defies description.  With its sheer granite cliffs, towering waterfalls, and idyllic meadows, Yosemite Valley is one of the most stunning places on earth.  3 million visitors per year witness scenes such as this, where the highest waterfall in North America plunges 2400 feet into the Merced river.
"Yosemite Valley Panorama"

February 2010, Yosemite National Park, California

Looking east over Yosemite Valley from Tunnel View is something that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.  From this vantage point the astonished visitor is treated to views of some of the most famous landmarks in the world.  El Capitan, Cloud's Rest, Half Dome and Bridalveil Falls can each be seen from this single location.  I was at Tunnel View for about 4 hours this particular morning, waiting for the clouds and fog to add just the right amount of drama to an already incredible scene.  Even if I had not gotten this image, just being at Yosemite is reward enough.
"The Finger of God"

February 2010, Yosemite National Park, California

I was at Yosemite's incomparable Tunnel View for about 4 hours this day. I shot several images during that time, each vastly different than the previous due to the movement of the breaking storm clouds.  I stood in amazement as an enormous dark cloud slowly entered the valley from my left.  It looked to me as though a giant finger from heaven was invading the valley, trying to wrap itself around mighty El Capitan.
