Trees, Cliffs, and Clouds. Yosemite Valley, California. October 30, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Clouds from an autumn storm drift among trees and spires along the rim of Yosemite Valley.
This is another in the series of photographs of mist and clouds and trees and cliffs during an autumn storm in Yosemite Valley. Here the clouds float among trees and spires along the rim of the Valley. I was looking for something very much like this as shot in the Valley, and here I spotted an interesting angle in the valley rim and then waited as the clouds floated in and out of the scene for a moment during which just enough of the detail of rocks and trees would be revealed for a moment.

Hi Dan,
Just spent some time perusing your site. Quite a nice body of work. Have you been to Bishop within the last week or so? We have quite a show going on right now. The best cottonwood fall colors in ten years.
Best Regards,
Greg…..
Thanks for visiting and thanks for your kind words, Greg! (I’m also aware of your work and your web site, which I’ve visited frequently.) I’ve heard rumors about the cottonwoods, and I would really love to be over there to shoot them this fall. Some of my favorite subjects include those trees with various backgrounds including the eastern escarpment of the Sierra. Unfortunately, this year I’m afraid it probably won’t happen. (Though there is an outside chance that I could, just maybe, get over there at the end of the upcoming week… if the color will still be there.)
Dan
Beautiful b&w images from this trip.
