El Capitan A Massive Form – Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 261

El Capitan from the meadow

El Capitan’s massive presence

Yesterday’s post demonstrated how perspective can ‘fool’ the eye and that very close up El Capitan doesn’t look much different than other large rocky mountains, but step back a bit and it will reveal it’s massive form when juxtaposed against its natural surroundings.

The green of the valley proves to be a good foil and border for the large form festooned with highlights in browns, grays and blacks.
