Winter Wonderland-Gates of the Valley at night!
"The grandeur of the scene was but softened by the haze that hung over the valley-light as gossamer -and by the clouds that partially dimmed the highest lifts and mountains. This obscurity of vision but increased the awe with which I beheld it, and as I looked, a peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my whole being, and I found my eyes in tears with emotion"
Words of Lafayette Houghton Bunnell, after he discovered the beauty of Yosemite Park in March 1851.
Panorama made of five vertical 24mm images, from my trip to Yosemite at the beginning of this year.
I always wanted to capture the beauty and grandeur of this magnificent place covered by a white blanket of snow. For two consecutive years I traveled in the wintertime trying to capture this scene and unfortunately was never able to find snow in the park. With the flurry of crazy weather over the holidays of last year, I thought "this is my chance!" I decided to venture yet again in hopes of this picture and welcomed in the New Year at the Park.
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits.
