    Yosemite Falls

    Since photographing Tunnel View was a bust at sun rise, as I suspected, I drove down to the valley to try and find the place on Southside drive to see and photograph Horsetail Falls at sunset. Since I passed it up I stopped by Swinging Bridge to photograph Yosemite Falls in the morning light. As…
