Half Dome Unrobed

During a winter afternoon photographing compositions in Cook’s Meadow, a small, wispy cloud appeared at the top of Half Dome. When I turned around moments later, she was completely concealed in swirling clouds, so we raced down to the Merced to photograph the unfolding drama. This particular shot was after sunset, and the clouds retreated just as suddenly as they had appeared.
