Weather or not, we were in Yosemite for just three full days and wanted to see a good cross section of the sights.
That morning, the Bridal Veil Falls looked pretty murky too.

Closer now and it's getting clearer.
A few seconds later, that roaring water just becomes a little old stream again.

Is it spray or rain? It's rain.
Lines of mist drift across El Capitan, the tallest single rock face in the world. 4000 feet of sheer rock.

That's a lot of feet.

Gradually it's form is revealed like a seven veils type of dance.

Mist and waterfall mingle.

Upper Yosemite Falls crashing down some 430 metres to the point where the lower falls take over.

A long lens helped here.

Back to the valley floor,
 

where it's still raining!

Here, the two falls can be seen together. 740 metres making them the sixth highest waterfalls in the world if you take them together.

A pleasant walk through the meadows followed.

lush, flat, green meadows amidst soaring peaks and crashing waterfalls.

That's Yosemite, a special kind of place.
