Popis:

This is a true-colour image of part of Yosemite Valley. The valley runs roughly east-west, and tall granite peaks lining the valley’s southern side cast long shadows across the valley floor. On the valley’s northern side, steep slopes appear almost white. Along the valley floor, roadways form narrow, meandering lines of off-white, past parking lots, buildings, and meadows. Near the right edge of the image is Half Dome, a granite peak visible (from the ground) throughout much of eastern Yosemite Valley. Towering almost 1,525 meters (5,000 feet) above the valley floor and 2,680 meters (8,800 feet) above sea level, Half Dome appears as its name suggests—a large dome of rock sliced vertically down the middle.
