Photo: Yosemite Falls in Winter as seen from Yosemite Valley, California

Taken years ago, this image is a classic valley icon view. There are few things as brisk as being up before sunrise in winter, cruising around Yosemite Valley in search of good photos. Due to the high granite cliffs that wall in the valley floor, cold air sinks on clear evenings and becomes trapped with no place to escape. The result of this is that the valley holds an exceptional bone chilling cold air temperature. It’s guarenteed to wake you up and make you take notice of all your senses.

Thanks for looking, and comments are always welcome.
