Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 132 (Lembert Dome – On top of the World)

This picture is a screen shot from part of a panorama. Of course I could have just singled out the one photo with the couple in the middle, but I had the pano handy. Because this is a section of a panorama, some of the people might have slight distortions.

**NOTE** when merging a number of photos into a panorama, items that are moving (i.e. people) have a tendency to be distorted.

It was absolutely breathtaking to stand on Lembert Dome and to slowly move in 360 degrees and view the total magnificence of the surrounding mountains. The sky was beautifully blue and clear with a few puffy clouds.

The feeling was exhilarating; trust me!

Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 92 (Tuolumne Meadows from atop Lembert Dome)

After quite a long trek and then a climb to the top of Lembert Dome, I had to take my time to gaze at all of the views from on top of that edifice.

So beautiful was the entire panorama, that I took enough photographs to cover the complete 360 degree view. I guess that is the good news. The bad news? Well, you may very well see every shot I took to cover all of that territory.

Not to worry, however, as I don’t think one can ever tire of the magnificence of that landscape. I was far enough from the edge of the dome to be safe, but it was still a thrill to look over the precipice.
