A gentle autumn morning in Yosemite Valley, where layers of mist drifted through the forest as the first sunlight slowly broke through. Soft, calm, and almost dreamlike.

The story behind

This photograph captures one of those rare autumn mornings in Yosemite Valley when the world feels suspended between night and day. The air was cold and still, and a thick layer of mist wrapped itself around the forest, drifting softly between the treetops. As the sun began to rise, its first light slipped into the valley, illuminating patches of trees while leaving others in shadow.

The scene felt both quiet and alive, fog moving like silk, light awakening the land inch by inch. For a brief moment, the valley looked like a dream, soft, layered, and impossibly serene.

This image preserves that fleeting transition, when Yosemite wakes gently under a veil of morning mist.
