Hi y'all
This past winter didn’t bring much snowfall, so I was hesitant to visit Yosemite Valley for the Firefall. But as luck would have it, during the second week of February, we got some much-needed, belated snow!
I captured several timelapse videos of the phenomenon this year, using a 600mm lens to get more detailed shots. What an incredible surprise!
On a different note, the recent gutting of National Park Services has been deeply saddening. Over the years, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with park rangers, BLM staff, and NPS employees. These dedicated individuals work for minimum wages, and now, many of them have been laid off.
While taking photos, I noticed a massive flag at the top of Horsetail Fall but wasn’t sure what was happening. Only after returning home did I learn that it was an upside-down American flag.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle:
Critique and comments are welcome.

What a strange and uncertain time we’re living in.
