Description
The El Nino 2016 turned out to disappoint most of us in terms of the amount of rain the state of California received. As as I was making my way east from San Francisco to Yosemite Valley, scars of the drought could be seen everywhere: On the oak trees, ponderosa pines, bushes, and other vegetation. The snowpack, however, was at 110% at some point in February. An early spell of warm weather had activated the snowmelt at the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada, so Bridal Veil Falls had a healthy flow, pretty enough to capture it in a long exposure, creating a beautiful ribbon of spray, foam, and falling water.
