Yosemite in January

The weather report said that it was going to snow in Yosemite Valley.

So.... Friedhelm and I headed up that way. Well there wasn't any snow except on

the peaks but there was fog and great photo opportunities.

Except for a few of exceptions, in this post, I tried to stay away 

from the iconic photographs. Some photos I changed to 

Black and White some stayed color.

First up is Bridal Veil Falls in B & W. I thought this 

highlighted the falls itself better.

As usual anywhere you look in Yosemite you have a pretty good

view. The fog and clouds just added to the beauty.

Sometimes you look straight up. 

As I mentioned the snow was on the peaks and sometimes they just

peeked through. Okay another bad 'Dave' pun.

But the Clouds turned out spectacular for a short period later in the day

You know that I had to feature at least one photograph that

was all about the lines.

This was taken on the Merced River just up from Happy Isles.

I couldn't decide whether this one is better in color or black and white.

So I posted both, you decide.

Last but not least Yosemite Falls with some fog and overcast. It's hard to

stay away from the features that make Yosemite famous, even when I try.

Go, See, Enjoy and Photograph
