Yosemite National Park (California)
 
Breathtaking. That is the only word to describe Yosemite when you drive through the valley looking up at the massive walls hovering over you.
 
Tunnel View provides the most quintessential view of the park. El Capitan, Half Dome, Bridalveil Falls all in front of you to show you the shear size of the park and its rock formations.
 
Far from city lights, Yosemite provides plenty of stargazing. The image is a long exposure showing the movement of the stars over the valley.
