Base of Vernal Fall, Autumn. Yosemite National Park, California. October 26, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell
This photograph was made (as you may have noticed from the date) in autumn of a pretty dry year. For this reason I was able to approach the base of the falls much more closely than would be possible in other years or during the waterfall season. (Even if you did manage to get this close in, say, June you wouldn’t see anything but a solid wall of mist.)
(Unfortunately, due to long-ago server software updates, this photograph no longer appears on this page.)
