Gates of the Valley

This classic view, like the one from Tunnel View affords a view of three Yosemite icons at once. With the other side of the valley deep in shadows, we focused on the sunlit face of Half Dome and its warm contrast to the cool, blue shadows along the river.

Across the way, if we had left it in the frame, is Bridalveil Falls.
