Upper Yosemite Falls and Frozen Meadows

Yosemite Falls down the granite with snow and ice piled at its base, bare branches and dark conifer around a frozen meadow.

Yosemite Valley in late winter, and the falls were running strong. The snowpack was deep enough to cover most of the meadow, and the bare trees made a stark contrast against the granite cliffs.
