Field of Alpine Shooting Stars at Sunset, Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park
I captured this photo in July 2023. After a record-breaking winter, I ventured up to the Yosemite high country in search of wildflowers in the alpine meadows. After visiting several, I finally found a nice patch of alpine shooting stars in Tuolumne Meadows.
As I waited for dusk, mosquitos started hovering around me. The abundant water meant that the bugs were out in full force. As is often the case in the Sierra Nevada, photographing the sunset turned into a running battle between adjusting my camera and swatting away mosquitos. The bug bites were well worth it though. The entire meadow and the peaks behind it turned bright orange as the sun set behind me.
