Located 250 km east of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite valley is a jewel among the national parks in the USA. Not only does it offer breathtaking landscapes with wild rivers, waterfalls, meadows, and mountains. Being the home of Ansel Adams, it also is arguably one of the birthplaces of fineart landscape photography. In 2014, I had the chance to explore and photograph Yosemite valley for one week. I hope you enjoy the following impressions of this wonderful place.
