El Capitan to the left, Bridaveil Fall to the right, and the rest of Yosemite Valley behind Tunnel View provides one of the most famous views of Yosemite Valley. From here you can see El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall rising from Yosemite Valley, with Half Dome in the background. This viewpoint is at the east end of the Wawona Tunnel along the Wawona Road (Highway 41). This is often the first waterfall visitors see when entering Yosemite Valley. In spring, it thunders, during the rest of the year, look for its characteristic light, swaying flow. Bridalveil Fall is one of the most prominent waterfalls in the Yosemite Valley in California, seen yearly by millions of visitors to Yosemite National Park. The waterfall is 188 meters (617 ft) in height and flows year round. The Ahwahneechee tribe believed that Bridalveil Fall was home to a vengeful spirit named Pohono who guarded the entrance to the valley and that those leaving the valley must not look directly into the waterfall lest they be cursed. They also believed that inhaling the mist of Bridalveil Fall would improve one’s chances of marriage.

beautiful shot, Lena. Waterfalls are such powerfull, dramatic symbols of Mother Nature. I hope you've been to Bridal Veil Falls in our neck of the woods as well. It's right outside Telluride. It's roughly half as tall as the one in California, right around 340 feet; but it's surrounded by golden aspens in the Fall. You can see a few shots of it in my Pikes Peak Region gallery.

A unique combination of compelling moods, Lena, comprising grandeur, beauty, and serenity.
