Olmsted Point has a view of Half Dome. This lone tree is trying to grab center stage.
Omsted Point is easy to pass on the way to other locations, but it certainly is worth a stop. We were on the way to Lembert Dome when we stopped to take a few photographs.
What I liked about this particular photo is the tree near the center. Although it would normally be a supporting cast member with Half Dome straight ahead (peaking out just above the curve of the hill in the center), it steals the scene in its own right. Naturally, there are nice pictures of Half Dome to be captured from this view as well.

What kind of tree is this? Wanting to label my photo of this tree. Thanks!
I was not able to find a definitive answer to that question other than it is in the pine tree family.
