Fall Colors at Half Dome

Half Dome is one of the most iconic landmarks in Yosemite National Park, and it's especially beautiful in the fall. The leaves on the surrounding trees turn a brilliant red, orange, and yellow, creating a stunning contrast with the granite face of the dome. This image captures the beauty of Half Dome in fall perfectly. The fence in the foreground adds a sense of perspective, and the mountains in the background complete the scene.

November in Yosemite Valley, and the oaks still had some leaves clinging to their branches, though the ground was already covered in fallen foliage. Half Dome looms in the background under a clear sky.
