Because of fires near Yosemite National Park, hubs and I nearly didn’t go. Traveling through the park would not have added much to our drive, however, and neither of us had visited the famous park before, so we finally added it to our route. To say that we are glad we went is an understatement. While the air was still a bit hazy (hence some of the lack of clarity and contrast in this photo), it was much better than reported, and the park was beautiful. If you are planning a trip, however, we recommend approaching the park from the east if at all possible, because it is far more dramatic. Our route took us through the west entrance which, while nice, started off with a long, leisurely drive through a forest with nary a mountain peak in sight.
great monochrome tones…

Great BW. A nice and different Half Dome image.

That’s a beautiful B&W. Was it in-camera or post-processing B&W conversion?
