Views at Washburn Point of Mountain Peaks and Waterfalls (Yosemite National Park)

            When I first saw this view from the parking area, the only thought was...well, not so much a word but a feeling of just immenseness. To even attempt to capture an image seemed to understate just how grand this view truly was. With the low clouds and overcast skies, I decided to angle my SLR camera down which seemed to better bring out the view. Off in the distance are peaks of the Sierra Nevada range like Mount Broderick and Liberty Cap (from left to right). Nearby waterfalls are Nevada Fall and Vernal Fall (from top to bottom). Off in the far off distance is Little Yosemite Valley and Panorama Cliffs is nearby. I would be hiking in this same area in about two days!
