"Power of Vernal Fall" ~ After a moderately strenuous hike up the Mist Trail in Yosemite National Park one Spring day, I was greeted by a waterfall that instantly became my favorite waterfall that I've ever seen in person.  And I've seen a lot of waterfalls!  Vernal Fall is only 317’ high, so it's not the tallest waterfall I've seen.  But, with the landscape that it's set in along with a power that is unmatched in my previous travels, I was immediately in total awe of Vernal Fall.  The power of the falls really made an impression on me, so I felt a close-up shot isolating the falls was the best approach.  Indeed, this is probably my personal favorite waterfall photo that I've taken.

Notice the tree stump to the right of the falls, it's the same tree that appears in Ansel Adams' classic photo of Vernal Fall, circa 1948.
