Last light on Half Dome, Yosemite National Park

Last Half

This photograph was made from Sentinel Dome, there you will see a 360 degree view of Yosemite valley. Among the many panoramic views, lies the Jeffrey Pine or at least whats left of it. The poor withered guy died from drought and continues to be carelessly handled by hikers. The pine was made famous by Ansel Adams his photograph here depicting a once flourishing pine. Pretty awesome to be standing in the same spot when history was made in 1940 and not to mention the ever beautiful Yosemite valley. Also if you are there until just after astronomical twilight, I imagine the trail photography would be excellent.
