Forest & Ocean Gallery unveils resident artist Cheyne Walls’s newest fine art photograph captured in the valley of Yosemite National Park. The public is invited to an artist reception and discussion of “Gates of the Valley” on Saturday, April 26, from 6 – 9 p.m. 

The photograph commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant, signed on June 30, 1864, by President Abraham Lincoln, and marked the first time a federal government set aside a piece of land purely for preservation.
The photograph "Gates of the Valley," captures a late spring snowfall with the El Capitan cliff face lit by a break in the clouds. "It was only a moment before the valley was fully engulfed by the storm again," said Walls. "It was truly a golden moment that was amazing to witness and I will treasure for a long time."
