Panoramic – Yosemite National Park

Taken by Ashley Ryan

Back in early May 2015, we visited the USA West Coast on a rail holiday… one of the places we visited was Yosemite National Park.  The above photograph was taken during the guided tour of the park, at the viewing point that overlooked the valley.
