Yosemite - Half Dome though the Forest

This is somewhat of a unique angle on Half dome that I shot about a half
mile down the four mile trail. If you go to Glacier Point and walk down
this trail the dome is hidden and you don't get much of a view of anything
but the forest. As you approach a steep area the trees give way and you get
a glimpse of Half Dome silhouetted by pine trees. This gives you a real
sense of the size of Half Dome and just how massive that rock is. This is
possibly my favorite shot of Half Dome because it was so unique and not like
any I had seen thus far. The setting sun really helped give what had been
a dreary day a nice warm light on Half Dome. You can even make out some of
Clouds Rest just behind the dome. We didn't make it all the way down the
trail but we plan to do this hike again. I'd really like to see this one
with a good sunrise behind it. Will have to get up real early for that
one.

Hope you like this one.
Drop me a note if you do.

Cheers,
