    …over a canyon valley vista with waterfall in the afternoon. As the sun sets in the afternoon, the shadows slowly rise, with a few cloud shadow casts moving along the view below. A massive waterfall is dwarfed by a cone shaped peak with some snow in the frame’s center. Three trees in the foreground are silhouetted. The sun still shines on the Yosemite vista, a forest of partly burned evergreens among the cliffs of the frame’s left side. In the top half, a low cloud billows upward as it also disintegrates.
