Half Dome Golden Hour, Yosemite

Half Dome's granite face is illuminated by golden light at sunset, with a weathered tree trunk in the foreground.

Yosemite's Half Dome catches the last light of day, its granite face glowing orange against the dusky sky. The foreground is a tangle of weathered wood and green foliage, a stark contrast to the smooth, massive rock formation. I've been coming to this spot for years, hoping for this exact light.
