Visiting Yosemite National Park, is nothing like this in any part of this planet. The majestic mountain range & the beauty of life surrounding the valley.

Half Dome by Raul J. Gonzales

Here's a true favorite of Half Dome photograph I took. I just loved how the details just pop and makes a magical wonder of Yosemite National Park can be like for any visitor to visit.

Ever wondered what Yosemite National Park will ever look like in 100 years or what it was like 100 years ago? Personally, I do! I would love to wonder what it will look like. Will it look something from the past?

Or will it something observe the sanctuary, solitude, or a place to just to set your mind and go free! I don't literally mean go free and go crazy, but I do mean, appreciate the nature's finest on this planet that has to offer.

Every time you goto this park, it's always different for everyones experience. The lighting, the texture, the smell, no matter what time of the year it is, its always magical for anyone who dares to witness this beauty.

Half Dome for instance, is a Natural icon for Yosemite National Park. It's possibly known because of Ansel Adam's landscapes, as well as his subject main area was Yosemite National Park.

Such as the big Red Wood Sequoia, they are seen, but at some times you have to travel higher elevation into the Park. Or you have to visit the other side of the Park to see the Mariposa Grove, where lies the Grizzly Sequoia Tree, one of the oldest trees on the planet Earth.

When entering the other side of the park, you get the famous tunnel view, which is probably one of the most popular vista sites, from left to right, you can see El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Falls (which is dried in shown these photographs you see here)

Such as Glacier Point, where usually it has famous vistas to look out into the distance. You can see Yosemite Falls, Half Dome, Nevada Falls, and Vernal Falls. On really good late spring days, and if in the right angle; you can see Illiouette Falls! Including other big mountain vistas such as El Capitan, which stands at 7,569 FT in elevation and Half Dome stands at 8,836 FT in elevation.

As you wander through my images, just remember, these photos are usually as is, with minimal editing, and I hope these photos inspire you to visit Yosemite National Park in California someday, enjoy!
