The color palette in Yosemite Valley as the sun sets on a summer day is soulful- bright yellow light fills the space and turns the normally cool and grey soaring walls into temple walls. The shadows deepen into blues and the bright greens of the trees sink back into dark half tones.

“Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space. I know of no sculpture, painting or music that exceeds the compelling spiritual command of the soaring shape of granite cliff and dome, of patina of light on rock and forest, and of the thunder and whispering of the falling, flowing waters. At first the colossal aspect may dominate; then we perceive and respond to the delicate and persuasive complex of nature.” - Ansel Adams
