I arrived in Yosemite at 5:20 a.m. in order to catch the sunrise at Tunnel View, but the clouds ruined the view. So I wandered the valley for some other sight to behold and found this beautiful reflection in the flooded waters of Yosemite valley.

I was freezing cold staying in the tent cabins in Half Dome (formerly Curry) Village in Yosemite Valley with my dad who was there for work, so I got up and drove around the valley at 6 am. There’s been lots of fires in the area and the valley was filled with this thick smoke. Stopped at a turnout near Tunnel View and shot this photo - I really love the symmetry of it and the smooth gradients the smoke produces.
