Shot of Half Dome at Yosemite National Park in the foreground, and Clouds Rest peak in the background.

Another amazing view in the Park.

This was lit by a full moon.

Overhanging Rock. As viewed from Glacier Point, Yosemite.

Half Dome is a granite dome in Yosemite National Park, located in northeastern Mariposa County, California, at the eastern end of Yosemite Valley — possibly Yosemite's most familiar rock formation. The granite crest rises more than 4,737 ft (1,444 m) above the valley floor.

Half Dome...

I never get tired of looking at Yosemite. The way Half Dome and the surrounding terrain looks from Glacier Point, you can easily see how the glacier cut right through there and left the path we see in this picture. It took several million years, but what's left is amazing and magnificent.

We all went to this new location that I had not known about. I think it was called, "Behing the grocery store" Halfdome shot. Well, halfdome never came out from under the clouds so I decided to do a pano. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I've uploaded a few more images from the last Yosemite trip simply to show a few more of the wonderful vistas this park provides.

Half dome in Yosemite

Last night's full moon in Yosemite was incredibly beautiful!! There is magic in the moonlight, especially when there is fresh snow everywhere! This is a 1-minute exposure, looking over the Merced river from Sentinel Bridge, as the moon shines bright above Half Dome.

There was a Beautiful couple of hours in the AM with minimal sky showing in. Different locations. Chasing light while avoiding tree snow bombs quickly became the game. Lots of Fun!!

Yosemitie's Half Dome from our camp spot. This is a digitized slide.

The Milky Way starts to rise over Halfdome.

This is a great location to take pictures of Half Dome. This view shows the meadow that has Half Dome on it East side. I looked online and found that this housing is for Park employees, but I'm not sure who qualifies to get them. What a view to wake up to every morning! Of course you could also watch the sun set with your favorite beverage.

View of Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, from Glacier Point, close to sunset. The last light can be seen on the face of Half Dome, as the remainder of the land and hills drifts into darkness. A cloudy night hides the stars but frames Half Dome.

I'm back on my waterfall kick.

..and the trip ends way too soon so enjoy it while you can!

Yosemite National Park has some spectacular views. This is a touch-up of an old 35 mm slide (it's raining here today).
