"Yosemite National Park is set within California's Sierra Nevada mountains.  It's famed for its giant, ancient sequoias, and for Tunnel View, the iconic vista of towering Bridalveil Fall and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome."

I've been lucky enough to have traveled to this amazingly beautiful place three times now and each time it has never ceased to fascinate me with its stunning scenery.  The first time I visited Yosemite was in July of 2011, and it was a particularly memorable experience, because that was the year when there was still snow melting from the mountains, in July!  Which meant that the falls in Yosemite were full of extra water that normally wouldn't be there, and it made for some absolutely beautiful views!  

Here's what I managed to capture from my trips there.
