Winter in Yosemite
A shot of Half Dome in Yosemite
El Capitan Reflection
Vernal Fall is a 317-foot (96.6 m) waterfall on the Merced River just downstream of Nevada Fall in Yosemite National Park, California. Vernal Fall, as well as Nevada Fall, is clearly visible from Glacier Point. The waterfall runs all year long, although by the end of summer it is substantially reduced in volume and can split into multiple strands, rather than a single curtain of water. Even though this shot was taken in spring, the effect of the Californai drought and low rainfall over the last winter is evident.
