Yosemite Calm Reflection, Valley View

Yosemite Valley falls still at first light, the Merced River smoothing into a mirror that gathers El Capitan, Cathedral Rocks and the granite walls of the valley into a single reflection. Stephen Milner photographed the scene from Valley View, the classic vantage at the western gates of the valley.Rendered in black and white, the image trades colour for structure and tone: the weight of the granite, the soft mass of the pines and the quiet symmetry of stone meeting water. A study in stillness from one of the most revered landscapes in the American West.Printed to order at a specialist fine art lab and finished by hand: Under acrylic glass. The print is face mounted behind matte acrylic glass on a rigid backing and sealed for life, for deep blacks, a glare free surface and a true gallery finish. In a Basel frame. A solid 15mm moulding with a shadow gap that sets the image just proud of the wall, in black matte, white, natural oak or walnut. Available in three panoramic sizes from 107cm to 196cm wide. Custom sizes on request.Part of Stephen Milner's American fine art landscape collection.
