Most people who go to Yosemite National park will recognize this view as Tunnel view and its one of the trademark images of Yosemite national park. I have shot this scene before but this time we wanted to do something different and hence ended up hiking to Artist point which about half a mile away from the parking lot and requires a lot climbing and scrambling. Actually the hike is almost entirely elevation gain and not a good thing to do when the sunset is already happening as we literally had no time to take a breather. I was almost certain that I was going to have a heart attack, at least a couple of times during our scramble.
I know this view point is not that far from Tunnel view but the this vista has an entirely different perspective due to the elevation gain and to add to it we got to watch most spectacular sunset I have ever witnessed at Yosemite. Yosemite, to me at least, has always been a sunrise location and I was properly stocked to get a sunset this pretty and I had high hopes for next day’s sunrise shoot. But that’s a story for another day’s post. Hope you like this image, thanks for visiting.
