    Scene notes:

    cast shadows on the trees and meadow below. From within the park valley, Half Dome looms above the trees on the right-side of the frame. An imposing monolith rises on the opposing side, this forms a section of canyon with ninety-degree cliffs on both sides and a river in between them. Very light passing fluffy clouds meander in the cerulean blue sky. Not a long way behind the trees the valley turns in to Tenaya Canyon.

    Scene notes:

    …National Park. A famous view over a canyon valley vista with waterfall in the afternoon 1 of 2. Above the side-road parking lot, overlooking Yosemite Valley on a perfectly fifty percent cloudy day there is a POV. High up on a trail away from the tour buses, a maintained path leads straight up the hill face, warm and dry ground on this day. these cumulus meander in the general direction of the wind, their shadows moving along the greenery and granite of these steep cliff faces and arched domes in the distance, Half Dome, still with the bits of snowy outcrops on its very top.

    Scene notes:

    Left to right: El Capitan, a massive monolith that’s a kilometer in height and straight rock face. The snowy area tucked away behind El Capitan is Cloud’s Rest. Then Half Dome, the cross-sectioned dome monolith. Sentinel Rock is the slope which is in front of Half Dome. Bridalveil Falls is closer. Low clouds float and transform on the forest valley floor and all the aforementioned features.
