Defining Moment - a photo on Flickriver

Defining Moment

I had hoped the fresh snow would last until after sunset but the warming temperatures had other plans. Shortly after the snowfall ceased during the morning a mass melting occurred as majority of the snow in Yosemite Valley disappeared. Hoping for some light at sunset, Aaron, Zach, and I ended up heading to Tunnel View.

Despite the lack of snow in the valley the emerging fog and clouds filled the foreground and provided some drama in the scene. Dropping afternoon temperatures combined with wetness gave rise to constantly changing fog in the valley. For a brief few minutes the clouds opened up and showed us El Capitan’s face. Although Half Dome never showed itself we were still treated to constantly changing conditions as the fog rolled around in the valley and the low clouds continued smothering El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks.
