We drove through Yosemite high country in the dark of night on the way to Mt. Whitney. On the way back we saw the beauty that we had missed before.

 

It got to be too much and Tim decided he had to pull over and have a rest and a look. The first time we pulled over, I got a breathtaking view of Pywiack Dome and the peaks surrounding Tenaye lake.

 

I pulled out my camera and took this panoramic, though my memory card was almost full.

 

When I stitched this shot, I found out that I no longer have the originals! This one has been corrected for distortion and possibly for color. Lucily the exposure was close enough that the merge went well. The blown highlights in the center of the frame give it an ethereal quality that I did my best to preserve.

 

I fixed the noise in the shot in the wrong order.
