"Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green & golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space."
Ansel Adams, photographer
November. The leaves are on the ground. The snow is yet to fall. As always this time of the year, I find myself daydreaming. Where would I rather be. I'm contemplating my escape.
Yosemite Valley, California. I've never been but have long known the photos and beauty captured by Ansel Adams. And I've googled the historic
Ahwahnee Hotel looking for reservations. I'm as good as there!

Sign me up! I lovet that lobby and those views. Although I think they have a foot of snow already.... I'm not ready for that... yet...
What a magical looking place....the hotel, the setting....gorgeous!
I would seriously consider a station wagon if I could have one like Adams'.
This is beyond breathtaking. I literally did a double take!
Pack your bags, you deserve a vacation, hope you dont mind if i come.
If you can wait and stay when it is snowing in the valley you will not regret it! Peaceful, pristine, and stunningly beautiful in the valley in the winter. AND no crowds!!!
that photo of the frozen trees around the house is magnificent
BEAUTIFUL place! My hubby and son camped up there this time last year for a 7th grade trip... they LOVED it! They captured some beautiful photos!
I hope you get your escape!
ENJOY!

Ah, yes. Let's GO.
Ces paysages sont d'une incroyable beauté !
Quant à l'hôtel Ahwahnee, quel rêve d'y séjourner.
Merci pour ce joli partage.

Stayed in the Ahwanhee some years ago, definitely worth it! Just GO, relax, enjoy! It's gorgeous!!

Have a nice weekend!

One of my favorite places on earth!!
AWESOME and amazing pictures.
Come and check it out in my blog...an award awaiting you.
Cheers.
So many contrasts of light, images, sensations ... Ten years ago we visited some of the marvellous American parks (Grand Canyon, Bryce, Mesa Verde ...) It was magic!
I went to Yosemite with my family several years ago, makes it up there on my top most beautiful places I've been too.
also, we just recently studied Ansel Adams in photography class. Quite the photographer, if you ever get a chance look up his process....
Is this place for real? It's so beautiful! I hope I can make it there some day. thanks for sharing.
Gosh, how romantic - Aren't Ansel Adams photographs the best? Great post.
SOOO gorgeous!! I have a friend who met her husband while working at the horse stables here--I want to go!
