NOTE – Over the next week or so, STATUS QUOtes posts may be sporadic or postponed entirely. Other obligations may consume more of my time and prevent me from posting. Thank you for visiting JBRish.com and I hope to back on schedule soon!

 

Can you locate Half Dome in the picture below?

Half Dome plays hide and seek

I feel that most people who have knowledge of our national parks have heard of Half Dome. I knew of Half Dome long before I visited Yosemite National Park. My Macintosh desktop had Half Dome as its default image at one point.

This large monolithic feature has become a symbol to a number of businesses, sports enthusiasts, etc., but it remains hard to grasp how omnipresent it is at Yosemite National Park. It reveals itself time and time again.

There were instances when we looked up above the trees and there it was. No fanfare or spectacular view, just Half Dome towering above it all. There were other times when it was somewhere along the horizon, but had to be sought out. From Olmsted Point without any visual aides, it might be difficult to discern, but it was there for sure!
