Autumn Rain, Merced River. Yosemite Valley, California. October 30, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Fall colors and mist along the Merced River, Yosemite Valley.
Returning to the land of color – after a spate of recent black and white posts – this is a photograph made on a rainy day along the Merced River in Yosemite Valley, as fall color came to the trees and bushes and fog drifted along the walls of the Valley. This photograph was made from the bridge near Curry Village as it rained lightly and the colors were reflected in the calm surface of the river. Probably because of the damp weather and the relatively early hour there was hardly any one else around, and this in a location that is often quite busy.

It was as peaceful and serene as it looks. There was almost no one else there, the wind had stopped, and it was gently raining and almost completely silent.

My first impression too — peaceful and serene. I love the way colors glow in those weather conditions.
Such a lovely scene, Dan !! Serene !
