Half Dome and Clouds Rest Clearing Autumn Storm

The morning after a robust and desperately needed rainstorm quenched California, conditions in Yosemite offered ever-changing clouds, light and drama. Half Dome would be visible from Tunnel View one second, then disappear the next. During one of her brief unveilings, I whipped out the telephoto to capture that magical clearing storm light on Quarter Domes and Clouds Rest beyond her iconic snow-capped peak.
