This is the view from the top of Sentinell Dome. This image shows the back of Yosemite Valley. It was the first time I observed the valley from above. This still and silent environment gives off an energy so inviting and pleasant you can sense the peace flowing through your body. A short hike to the top and you feel pretty small among these immense formations. The colors bled more vibrant as the last minutes of the sun's light crept behind the horizon. It was definitely worth it, although I had forgotten a flashlight. The mile and a half back gave my eyes a nice test.
It made me realize that we take for granted the convenience we are so heavily associated with. Weather it's a flashlight, GPS, a lighter or whatever. It seems most commonly looked past and not even important enough to wonder how these tools even work. I watched the attentive hikers gingerly saunter their way back with the guide of glowing gadgets, I thought to myself: that strolling through in the darkness was a nice experience. I don't think I would have had it any other way.
