In the heart of the Sierra Nevada in California, Yosemite is one of the most beautiful and most popular National Parks in the United States. The highlight of the park is the Yosemite Fall: 739m high, one of the biggest waterfalls in the world! Here are my pictures of this gorgeous place.

Early morning in Yosemite: the beginning of a long and very difficult hike via the Four Mile Trail, with a gorgeous view over the Yosemite Valley

When I looked at this picture a few days after I took it, it almost felt like it had been photoshoped: a waterfall (Illilouette Falls), a rainbow, the Half Dome in the background, it was just too perfect. Too perfect… but not fake! This is the actual view that I was staring at!
