Canon Powershot SD750, Creation Tales, Landscape, Poetry

Yosemite

Yosemite
Ansel Adams
Mastered her
In thrilling
Black and White

She called to me
Yosemite
Then halted me
Mid-flight

So I could love
Her beauty
In the colours
Of grey light

Yosemite National Park
California, United States of America

Taken during travels, 2009

I’d intended to drive through Yosemite, stopping here and there for photos, then travel up and over the Sierras. Mesmerized by her beauty, I decided to stay overnight. While I slept, snow blanketed all the mountain passes through the Sierras, closing them on October fourth. So, I stayed another day, and got this on my little Canon Powershot.
