Sunset, Half Dome

I'm sure I've blipped this view several times over the years, but I can't resist this color, and I love the tiny silhouettes of the trees on that curve. We are in a campground in Yosemite Valley. A tad cold at night, but it is so comfortable to be back here in the mountain air, the magical light, and that particular smell of pine needles hot from the sun... It was a rough day on the road--I was still headachy and nauseous from who knows what--but this sacred place is a healing place and it is worth the difficult ride to see these mountains again.
