There are two things one must see when they visit Yosemite: Half Dome and El Capitan. Luckily, they're both really big so they're really easy to see. There is even one viewpoint that gives you a magnificent view of the two of them next to each other. Unfortunately there were a couple of mild wildfires while I was there so that view was pretty hazy, but other views, while they didn't squeeze both landmarks into a frame, proved very fortuitous. This shot of El Capitan was taken from the valley floor. It was late afternoon, the sky was an amazingly deep blue, and the light was painting a most flattering portrait of the monolith.

Truly this is a majestic piece of earth.
