Autumn Colors at Vernal Fall. Yosemite National Park. October 30, 2005. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

I usually wouldn’t bother taking a photo from the Vernal Fall Bridge in Yosemite – too many tourists and a scene photographed too many times. (I have taken photos of the people on this bridge in the past.)

However, on this autumn day the crowds weren’t that bad at all – things slow down in Yosemite in the off-season – and the trees were turning fall colors and dropping their leaves. It seemed worthwhile to set up the tripod and capture a few images that I combined to create this photo.
