Our daughter lives in LA so on a trip to visit in 2005, we all went to Yosemite National Park for a few days. As I remembered, it rained most of the time but that made for some great waterfall shots. This one is one: Angel Falls. Beautiful!
Every time I go to the Hyde House and see Bierstadt'sYosemite Valley with the Cliffs of El Capitan on the left and Cathedral Rock with the Bridal Veil Falls on the right, I think of the picture I took on our trip there in 2005. This is the same view as Bierstadt painted in 1865, but my picture isn't anywhere as good as his!
