Yosemite's second most well-know waterfall is Bridalveil Falls. It is the first waterfall you see when you come into the park from the west. This image was taken towards sunset from a famous roadside pull-out called Tunnel View. It is one of the prime photographic locations in the valley as it is elevated above the valley floor and gives you and unobstructed view of most of the valley. I used a 400 mm telephoto lens to get this shot. As you can see, the falls are full to capacity as this was taken in May of 2006, when waterfalls were running 25% higher than normal for May. There is a huge amount of mist clearly visible that is generated by the extraordinary amount of falling water. On this day, if you walked to the falls, which is quite easy, you would be soaked before you ever got close.
