Description
From one side of Stoneman Bridge you can look up north into Yosemite Valley and see Half Dome. During this winter day the snow was flowing to hard to even see the mountains. Since I couldn't shoot half dome during the storm I walked over to the other side of the bridge. The snow had coated all of the branches in a nice layer of white and the flat light muted almost all of the other color that was left under the snow so I decided to shoot this in black and white. I really like how the river was still enough to cast a nice deep reflection of the trees lining the edge of the river. The tree near center caught my attention with the way it curved outward and then upward.
I feel that this picture captures well the calmness and quietness that is Yosemite Valley in the winter.
