This picture is shot from the same spot as the wider shot of Tenaya Gorge with the line of trees. During my
week at Yosemite, I was constantly on the lookout for a chance to make a picture I hadn't seen before. The valley
especially is a test for photographers. It's been done so much, and so well, that the photographer who finds
anything new is either extraordinarily lucky or talented. I'm sure this angle has been done before as well, but at
least I hadn't seen it before. The spot, behind and above Curry Village, requires a difficult scramble up a steep
slope of loose rock and dirt. If I am able to be in Yosemite again when there are clouds, I may try again.
