I made it to Yosemite National Park just as a powerful, late autumn storm descended upon the valley and stayed inside the park until the storm cleared. Such experiences are not just filled with photographic potential, but are also deeply spiritual. They show that no matter how hard things may get, brighter times are always round the corner !
I made a few photographs that morning in the snow storm. As the storm showed signs of clearing, I headed towards a grove of oak trees in Cook’s meadow. This grove of trees not only had a fair sprinkling on autumn foliage, their thick branches were also holding onto a lot of snow!
As the storm cleared, it was quite an amazing sight to see the autumn foliage be backlit by the rays of the morning sun. I zeroed in on a pair of intertwined oak trees and timed the shutter release to capture the snow showers falling from these trees.
