Tenaya Canyon from Union Point, Valley of the Yosemite

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rugged landscape with rocky mountains, a valley, and a domed peak in the distance. A dense forest covers steep terrain on the right side of the image. The scene is captured in a photographic style with a monochromatic color palette of sepia tones. Light and shadow play across the natural textures.
