Fire & Ice

Adarsh Dattani visited the most beautiful place on Earth, this past weekend … Yosemite National Park.

He arrived, expecting to find ice, but instead found fire in the forest. The snow that had been predicted to arrive as early as Friday held off until Sunday. It rained, instead.

“Dogwoods, cottonwoods, and black oaks were at their peak and they looked like they were on fire when backlit,” he wrote.

It finally snowed Sunday, “and boy was it worth the wait?!” He described it as one of “the most special days I witnessed in Yosemite. It was a winter wonderland, The combination of snow dusting, fall color, and the light was incredible and as if that was not enough there was a spectacular sunset!”
