Nature photography by Mark Chappell:   Yosemite in November

Yosemite National Park is full of iconic scenes: El Capitan, Half Dome, gaint sequioias; plunging waterfalls.   The park, especially Yosemite Valley, is hugely popular and very crowded for much of the summer.  These images were made during visits during late Autumn.
