Winter Sunset On Half Dome

Winter Sunset On Half DomeThe view of Half Dome from Sentinel Bridge in Yosemite National Park is a well known image. There are trace amounts of snow in this image, 2018 was a dry year in Southern California. I hope to get up to Yosemite soon and see the difference after all of the rain and snow we've experienced in January 2023.
