"WATCH TOWER" - Yosemite, CA

Shot in Yosemite National Park, this image captures one of nature’s great balancing acts—motion and stillness, delicacy and power. The waterfall slices through granite with relentless force, yet from a distance, it’s almost silent. I remember standing there, camera in hand, not clicking for a few minutes. Just watching. Because some views make you pause first. This one did. That’s what Yosemite does—it doesn’t ask for your attention, it commands it. And when the shutter finally clicked, it felt like an offering to the moment.
