Description
I spent a day in Yosemite this week; it never ceases to take my breath away. It had rained all night, stopped as we drove into the park. All the falls were spectacular. This is the first view you get of Yosemite Falls. That is not a lake; it's a flooded meadow--and there were many of those!

Inspired use of the sillouette. It really works here. I was there in 1995, the last time there was this much runoff.

I just discovered that the area behind the house where I'm currently living is a permanently flooded piece of land: not exactly a meadow...I think it's actually a part of those Illinois Wetlands that I keep hearing about. That oversized puddle, undersized pond is where I captured those cute little water-fleas (harmless despite the ominous sound of their name.) All of that is to say that I'm now immensely fascinated by the way that lands around the middle part of the USA tend to flood, especially with the odd weather we've been having just north of all of the drought-ridden places that really need the surplus rain we'd gladly give away. And after all of that, I have to also say that this is a fantastic shot. I love the way one can actually imagine that this is a lake! I love the glimpse of the falls and the wonderful framing of that tree that is largely in silhouette. You really have an eye for this kind of stuff, and it recalls those pier-supports in a way, though it's totally different. I think it's the natural framing. You really do a good job with that kind of stuff, among other things, and this is a really strong shot. It's deliciously composed. I love the way it goes from hazy white to lively green, with that dark tree-silhouette tying the whole thing together. WOW! This really frakkin' rocks!

Fantastic capture of this wonderful place. The tree in the foreground is perfect. Dana
