Yesterday I proffered the idea that we often relate to our paragons, whether they are people, historic places, natural wonders, etc. in very specific contexts and when observed in different settings they often do not evoke the same emotions.
Yesterday’s picture of Half Dome trying to poke out above other mountains around Mirror Lake did not render it the majestic mountain we have come to admire. Click HERE to see that post.
The picture of Half Dome above, adds a bit more punch and it comes closer to that majestic look we have come to associate with it. The meadow, trees and other mountains appear to accessorize Half Dome itself and help to increase the splendor of the mountain and overall scene.
Do you have a question about our visit to Yosemite? Ask it in the comment section.
