To most of us with easy access to Yosemite, the idea of visiting the park passes with the onset of winter.  But my most enjoyable visits there have been in the middle of winter.

I enjoy photography and the idea of Yosemite Valley draped in snow has always danced in my mind.  One recent winter, I kept a careful eye on the weather reports waiting for a powerful winter storm to pass through.  Because the valley is fairly low (4,000 ft.), it takes a strong system to leave a great deal of snow on the ground.

Finally, a good storm hit northern California, and on its heels, I grabbed my camera and tripod, and set out for the park.

My day there will always have a page near the front of my mental scrapbook.  Chains were needed to enter the valley and snow was everywhere in great heaps.  I stopped along the valley road, shouldered my gear and walked through fresh thigh-deep snow down to the Merced River in search of a special scene.  Once there, my concentration on photography was interrupted by a powerful realization:  The din of traffic and human hubbub typical of Yosemite Valley was missing.  The silence was absolute, interrupted only by the glass-crashing sound of ice sloughing off of El Capitan nearby.

I was truly experiencing Yosemite Valley as though I was the only person there – even the first person there.

These are two shots I like from that day.  After the next big storm blows through, think about calling in sick.
