View of Half-Dome near the end of the day, when the light becomes warmer. K5 + DA 55-300 mm @ 55 mm FL and f/9. Even with 75 deg F days in July, nights dip to 34 deg F (near freezing) in high altitude campgrounds.

If I remember it is a geologic exfoliation dome

[RICHARD L.]

It is an outcropping that was cut and fashioned by glaciers during the last Ice Age 12 000 years ago.

I have to see this place at least once in my life, beautiful!

Reminds me of the scene from a Star trek movie and Kirk was climbing it.

Wauw ;-) How about climbing that mountainside ?

[RICHARD L.]

Some alpinists try to climb these rock fascias every year. Some have perished over the years. The fir trees you see measure at least 70 feet (20 m) in height !
