Yosemite is such an amazing park to experience from within, but taking a plane and flying over it takes this place to a whole new level. The night before the flight, a massive snowstorm came in and dropped plenty of powder onto the majestic landscape. This fresh powder combined with fierce winds the following day caused a beautiful dusting effect as the snow gentle blew off the peaks of the various mountains. As we made this one particular pass, the golden rays of the setting sun illuminated that blowing snow creating one of the most beautiful scenes I've been fortunate enough to have witnessed. Adding Half Dome in the background was the cherry on top and the scene I was able to capture is one of those that can almost certainly never be replicated again.
