On my first visit to Yosemite, I arrived in the valley Sunday afternoon, and made this picture of Half Dome with a
cloud that repeats the shapes of the mountains in the first couple of hours I was there. I liked it when I shot it, and
still do. I think I might have worked it a bit harder that afternoon in spite of being tired, if I'd known that I wouldn't
see another cloud until Thursday. It's incredibly difficult to find a fresh look at an icon like Half Dome. It's a bit like
looking for that fresh shot of the Eiffel Tower or the Brooklyn Bridge.
