I found it in a photography book when I lived in NJ 30 years ago!!!! The book had images of Half Dome in different light at different seasons. Who knew then that I would get the opportunity to capture a magic moment I had only dreamed about! Thanks for all the comments, it is an incredible rock.

Wow, that is a strange but beautiful sight. What could be more perfect for this challenge than this hot and cold rock? Great entry Denise!

Hi Denise! I'm lost for words. I think 'astounding' is the best I can come up with ;)
