Time to Go to Yosemite!

***Yosemite Drapes Itself in Its Splendid Liquid Veils, and Preens
(New York Times):

It poured again on Sunday in the Yosemite Valley, but people were smiling in their ponchos and galoshes. It has been that kind of spring here: dreadful weather and delighted visitors.

Like many lakes and rivers and waterfalls in Yosemite National Park, Mirror Lake is fed by melting snow, much more of it this year than usual.
With extraordinarily heavy snowfall in the higher elevations, and lots of rain elsewhere, the rivers and waterfalls in the Sierra Nevada are gushing. Hikers must hopscotch around muddy puddles, and much of the park remains closed because of impassible roads, but the Yosemite water show is at its best in years.

I can get there in a day – time to go!

***About this page

Abstract may not be the correct description for all images on this page. I think of them as adapted landscapes. In fact, some may look relatively realistic, especially if you are used to seeing highly altered images. In any case, the goal with these images is not to create some sense of realism, but rather to use natural images as a starting point for significant manipulations.
