Late fall reflection of Half Dome
(Operation White Weather Nov. 1994)

Doing the usual meandering for an image I came across this look of Half Dome
in an isolated pocket of water left stranded from a receding Merced river.
Having only a standard lense with me I set up the shot and took a few images
of it while the light was still manageable. Seth was in earshot on the
radio but I guess at the time I failed to mention it to him which to this
day still makes for interesting conversation.

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them, half
of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a
loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator
shearing off those woods and making earth bald before
her time, he is esteemed as an industrious
and enterprising citizen."

-Henry David Thoreau-
