The water levels are really low in late fall in the valley. The falls quite often dry up. If you’re lucky and a storm comes in to put water into the falls but doesn’t knock all the fall color down, there are some amazing photographs to be had. It’s the lower Yosemite Falls that you see in the background through this black oak. Photo captured by D2X, 70-200VR on Lexar digital film and finished in the digital darkroom.
