Bridalveil Fall is one of the most prominent waterfalls in the Yosemite Valley in California, The waterfall is 188 metres (617 ft) in height and flows year round.
The Ahwahneechee tribe believed that Bridalveil Fall was home to a vengeful spirit named Pohono who guarded the entrance to the valley and that those leaving the valley must not look directly into the waterfall lest they be cursed. They also believed that inhaling the mist of Bridalveil Fall would improve one's chances of marriage. I took this shot of the falls on a day the wind was trying to blow the water up the falls. Maybe I shouldn't have looked directly at the falls!!!
