Who says Yosemite is "ugly" in the summertime?

Well, actually, I do. At least most of the time. It can be hot, crowded and very, very dry. But if you hit the valley on just the right day, at just the right time, it doesn't matter what time of year it is.

 

This is the iconic view of El Capitan from Valley View. I was enjoying the way the clouds formed around the rocks. But more than that, the low river level let me get this shot without getting soaked. Yeah!

 

And before you say it, it just looked better in color. :-)
