When driving Highway 120 right before heading down into Yosemite Valley, you come across this magnificent view with Half Dome in the distance. November, 2023
#Landscapes #landscapephotography #Yosemite

An Autumn picture of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park from the distance. It's a sunny day with a few stray clouds in the frame. Half Dome is sandwiched between two rock structures with a small dark cloud obscuring a small portion of Half Dome about a quarter of the way from the top, with it's peak visible with a small patch of snow.

Develop a "shadow government" with leading Dems mirroring Fed Gov't roles. They are responsible to respond to specific actions taken by their counterparts. Communicate to the American people & to the world the majority of Americans detest Blob & executive agency actions and there are better ways.

It features a lone tree with a thin trunk that curves at the top, and has branches extending from the top upper half of the trunk that forms a concentric circles of green needles. At the top of the tree, a Red-Tail hawk perches looking over the prairie. Only the top portion of the tree is in focus, while the rest of the photo sports a blurry dreamy look.
