Late Afternoon Clouds over Yosemite Valley (Black & White)

            For most of that late afternoon stroll, I focused on images that minimized the overcast skies above, since there wasn't really thing worth capturing. Here though, I found a nice cloud formation that I was able to bring out some total contrast after converting to black & white. I found the clouds above a nice compliment to the mountain peaks of Yosemite Valley all around. To my immediate front is the grassy meadow seemingly leading one forward to explore and soak in the impressive views.
