Lembert Dome Sunset





Lembert Dome Sunset
YOSE07D-57
July 14, 2007

This scene is from the less-visited yet stunning Tuolumne valley in the northern reaches of Yosemite National Park.  Lembert dome is a granite mound that juts up above the surrounding pine forests, and has a perfect westward facing slope.  This day we were lucky to catch it just as the sun dropped down, highlighting the storm that had been threatening to gather, and turning the whole scene a vibrant warm tone.

Focal length:  26 mm
