Gates of the Valley

Yosemite National Park

I can't remember if Fred posted his shot like this from Valley View over at PT... If he did, I hope
you don't mind seeing mine. This shot was taken at the Valley View pullout along the Merced river
mid-afternoon last September. I liked how the overhanging branches framed the rocky peaks in the
distance. We also took photos from the more traditional rocky shore a dozen yards to the right of this spot.

Comments and feedback always welcomed.

Striking scene Barb :) I dont think I had seen either yours or Fred's image over on PT.
Love the color and reflection. You each picked up slightly different lighting.
