Cook’s Meadow Elm Behind A Veil of Snow, Yosemite

What does it look like when 11 inches of snow is falling in Yosemite Valley?

Well it looks something like this. In near white out conditions the iconic Cook’s Meadow Elm was virtually hidden behind a wall of falling snow. At the time this photo was taken, this was the most serene I’ve ever seen the meadow. Not a soul was stirring other than myself.

A stunning image in the way that it pulls me into the piece to study it, and the overall impact from the weather on the particular scene.
Very cool!

Stunning image, one of those where lack of contrast really makes the photo. Great work!
