This photograph captures a towering granite cliff face with dramatic vertical striations characteristic of Yosemite's iconic rock formations. Dark water stains and frozen cascades streak down the center of the tan and gray stone wall, with patches of snow and ice clinging to ledges and crevices. A few hardy evergreen trees cling to the upper edges of the cliff, silhouetted against a deep blue sky. The scale and geological features are quintessentially Yosemite, showcasing the park's winter beauty when waterfalls transform into frozen ribbons of ice.
