Yosemite in February

The good and the bad. Glacier Point and Tioga Roads are closed during the winter months, but the Valley remains accessible by motor vehicle. Water levels may be low, but are usually still flowing. Snow may prevent hiking, but snow can create very special scenes for photography: developing and clearing storms, and the aftermath of newly fallen snow. These images were obtained the first week of February. Water flow was very good but after the first day there was no additional snow. Actually I have seen better snow during a November shoot.
