Description
"...there lived a beautiful valley - which loved to be photographed."
Brothers Grimm, I think? Please note the rainbow refraction at the base of Bridalveil Fall.
What makes this a somewhat rare photograph is that from the McGurk Meadow trailhead on Glacier Point Road, this is about an eleven-mile hike roundtrip, at an elevation averaging about 7000 feet. That's a fair amount of boot leather - and thins the field considerably.
Indeed, about 4 million visit YNP each year; of those, on May 23, 2013 from about 12:30 - 2:45 PM, only one was present here at Stanford Point...

If you possibly might prefer a painted texture, a watercolor-style conversion of this photograph is available in my "Watercolor Conversions of Yosemite Photographs" and "Watercolor Treatments Of Photographs" galleries here at FAA - thank you for viewing!
