"Valley of Wonder"
By Saurabh Deoras

It was one of my luckiest visits to Yosemite. At the valley floor it was all foggy but up here we saw one of the rarest and most beautiful sunsets ever!

The combination of fog in the valley, golden clouds in the sky, alpine glow on rocks and a flickr of snow on the peaks was my one lucky Christmas present!

"It was certainly your lucky day, to see Yosemite in all it's glory. Even some water in Yosemite falls. And you took full advantage of it with this stunning capture Saurabh. "

"What a great combination of beautiful elements! A great example of why they call these places "iconic". The fog in the trees really sets this one apart for me along with the overall warmth of the light. Stunning image! "

"As they say on Discovery Channel. The Earth is Awsome! Thank you Lord that we are able to enjoy your creation. (Even though Discovery channel would beg to differ.) You have one of the best pictures that I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing with us."

"Thank you so much friends for such wonderful comments. I always feel so fortunate to live just a few hours away from Yosemite and enjoy its grandeur. I am happy I could bring back some of that beauty. Thank you for taking a look."
