Description
Quite understandably, most visitors of Yosemite Valley are mainly attracted to its roaring waterfalls as well as its humbling monoliths. However, walking through Yosemite Valley, I found its rich and open meadows, alive with birds and butterflies, just as spectacular. Luckily, a network of trails and boardwalks pervade these meadows, allowing to walk through this ecosystem without damaging it too much. Indeed, the meadows of Yosemite valley are among those spots that offer the largest diversity of plants and animals. Some of the valley's most beautiful are Cook's Meadow, Sentinel Meadow, Leidig Meadow and Stoneman Meadow. We were passing Cook's Meadow shortly before sunset when we saw the last rays of sun highlighting just the top part of Half Dome. I set up my tripod, attached my polarizing filter and - together with a small number of fellow photographers - took a series of photographs. The photograph shown above was one of the nicest outcome of these shots. I particularly like how the clouds are nicely placed to support the dramatic view of the glowing peak of Half Dome.
