ExhibitPlus Rainbow Wisps at Bridal Veil Falls
With a height of about 900 feet, Bridal Veil falls is one of the star attractions of Yosemite. At the time I visited, its flow was rather limited due to the dry climate of the California summer. This allowed the high-altitude winds to blow the water around, creating wisps that cast partial rainbow colors in the late afternoon light.

In the spring, the fall is a raging monster; you can see the dark markings on the canyon wall show approximately the extent of the wall that gets wet during high flow.
