Yosemite Falls

[JimFox]

I was just going to run into Yosemite for 1 day (yesterday) by then I couldn't leave...

So I stayed another day. This was from this morning before the clouds and wind rolled in. I rather like the color contrast of the blue sky.

The meadows typically flood every spring to some degree in Yosemite, but this year they flooded a bit more and are staying flooded a bit longer then normal.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

PS. Another quick edit and barely any internet.

That's an awful lot of water falling over that cliff. Impressive. How are the crowds?

Thanks Alan.

Normal crowds. It's not a big deal, it's not so crowded that one can't get on position to take a photo. Like where I shot this it was on Southside drive. There was an old guy using ND grads while standing on a step stool up reach his maxed out tripod that was about 20 feet to my right. Otherwise there was just the occasional family waking by on the sidewalk that I was setup at.

And when I went photographing Dogwoods there wa no one else around at all. I could just wander around looking for and photographing Dogwoods. It was like there was no one within a hundred miles.

Looks like a nice flow. The crowds should start picking up now that its almost memorial day.

It's always super busy in the summer. But technically Yosemite is never without people in it. And it can be crowded at the iconic locations no matter what time of year it is. It just depends on what you consider a crowd to be.
