Half Dome Reflected in Merced River

Half Dome is reflected in the calm surface of the Merced River, framed by autumn foliage and evergreen trees.

October in Yosemite Valley. The Merced River was running low, and the surface was still enough to mirror Half Dome and the surrounding trees. The autumn colors were near their peak, with the aspens and cottonwoods turning gold and orange.
