Photo of the Day (12-2-09)

There's a quality about this photo by ohad* that gives me a looking in a snow globe, cozy feeling--a holding the world in the palm of a hand kind of feeling. The utter stillness of this scene, and the clarity of the mountains and the trees as they are reflected in the Merced River evoke a sense of peace. The sepia tone suggests nostalgia--as if to conjure naturalist John Muir to Yosemite once more. Lovely.

If you have a lovely shot, send us your best at Gadling's Flickr photo pool and it might be chosen as a Photo of the Day.
