Half Dome Over Merced Lake

Half Dome rises above the forested slopes surrounding Merced Lake in Yosemite National Park.

July in Yosemite's high country, and the air was clear after the thunderstorms of the previous week. From this vantage point above Merced Lake, Half Dome is visible in the distance, framed by the surrounding granite peaks and evergreen forests.
