The Greatest Place On Earth, Yosemite is about traveling through and photographing some of its remarkable scenery.

Wintertime in Yosemite is so beautiful, fresh fallen snow blankets the valley and trees. This is a great time to visit Yosemite there are few visitors and little traffic.

On a recent home exchange trip, a friend who came along wrote back with her impressions of Yosemite.

“Yosemite is one of the most awe-inspiring places that I have been fortunate enough to visit.  We stayed in a beautiful house at Groveland with a view of Lake San Pedro. The drive to Groveland was beautiful but nothing can compare with the grandeur of Yosemite—the tall mountains, the rock formations, the cascading waterfalls are a work of such stupendous magnitude that only the Hand of Almighty God could sculpture. The majesty of Half-Dome, The Cathedral, The El-Capitan, the cascading Bridal Falls and a lot of smaller waterfalls are indescribable for their beauty. One has to experience this, to enjoy what words cannot aptly describe.

I shall never forget how this trip impacted me.  As for me, everything else pales to insignificance. Words cannot do justice to such unsurpassed beauty. Yosemite is a wonder of God’s creation. Its beauty is etched in my memory to enjoy in my quiet moments.”
