pictures of halfdome

From Washburn point, on the Glacier Point Road. From this

angle, you can see why they used to call the thing

"Bird Rock."

From Glacier Point, which I had to myself when I took this picture.

(If you've ever been there in high summer, this will astonish you.)

Also from Glacier Point, this time with Vernal and Nevada Falls

in the frame.

From the trail between the Tioga Pass Road and North Dome

From Illouette Creek, where I was hiking with Caro. I'm

afraid the beige blob in the foreground is my finger.

From the pullout after the Wawona tunnel. HD is waaayyy

to the left. The right foreground features Gordon, avoiding the suck.

From the HD spur trail that leaves the John Muir Trail

shortly after it leaves Yosemite Valley.

Further up the HD trail, from the top of the subdome.

(You can see a few ant people on the cables.)

Looking down the cables from near the top. Insight about

the top of Halfdome: You can't see Halfdome from there!

Crouching behind Liberty Cap.

From Glacier Point again, this time in summer.

Pretty far in the background---from the Fletcher Creek Trail,

looking over Merced Lake.
