TitleThe Moonrise

Entry descriptionMoon rising over Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park. I was out in Yosemite for Christmas and it was snowing all the time. After 2 days of snowfall, finally the sky cleared in Yosemite. I reached the Valley View in Yosemite National Park just after the sunset. I decided to stay to take some pictures unaware that it was a full moon night and that the moon will rise in between EL Capitan and Cathedral Rocks. It was one of the beautiful sights i have ever seen in my life.
