sallycd 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Wow! the Dome turned gold at sunset.The Dome looked like a Whale trying to soar to the skies, to me.And it reminded me of that movie I saw decades ago,I think the title was "Mackena's Gold" or something. When the sun rose the mountains turned into gold. Link to comment

ddomonkos 0 Posted September 15, 2004 I like the compsition and the lighting and clear sky make an awesome photo. Haven't been to Yosemite since the late 60's shots like this tell me I've been missing alot. Link to comment
alecee 0 Posted September 15, 2004 Thanks guys. There were no clouds to make an interesting sky but the clean crisp evening light gave a wonderful glow to Half Dome. Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Alec, A beautiful photo, very well done. And this angle is not the most photographed angle for half-dome, an interesting perspective. Link to comment
wilsontsoi 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Sure, an overly done subject, but there's got to be a reason for it. Alec, definitely different perspective taken it from a highway overlook (correct?) You sure squeeze in lots of pix on this trip! ^_^ Link to comment
alecee 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Again, many thanks for the new comments. Wilson, not really. This is taken from Glacier Point, quite a high elevation and we had to walk up a large pathway about 200 meters to get t this place. There's a restaurant cum souvenir shop but they open at noon. Used to serve breakfast but stopped as there's not enough tourists in the morning. It's about 1.5 hour's drive from Yosemite Village to get to this point. Evening has more crowd as that's a great time to catch the last rays from the sun like what I did here. Link to comment
wilsontsoi 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Thanks for the clarification, Alec. Really beautiful light. BTW, are those couple people along the lower left side of the image?! Link to comment
alecee 0 Posted September 18, 2004 Sharp eye Wilson. Yes they are a couple. See walkway to Glacier point. Link to comment
