popping..“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.”
- Edward Abbey
Winter afternoon cloud formation…
What’s a scenery without clouds…?

You are looking at three remarkable landmarks of Yosemite Valley: the El Capitan (the tip partially covered with clouds on the left), the Half Dome (in the middle, smaller view) and the Bridalveil Fall (on the right).

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity…” –John Muir, 1898
The photos are breathtaking views into Yosemite Valley, one of America’s natural treasures where 95% of nearly 1,200 square miles is Wilderness. It is located in central Sierra Nevada of California; visited by 3.5 million tourists every year!! Taken in the Winter month of March 2007.
To learn more about Yosemite, visit the US National Park Service department.

Excellent job!
different but similar in formation and so majestic
Great cloud pictures.
This looks like a very impressive place - wild and remote - great for walking and nature.
WOW! Those are amazing shots! Like the different seasons:)
Beautiful shots. That cloud in the third photo looks like it is about to tip and fall off, lol. I’m sure you had a great time.
