Half Dome

Half Dome is one of the most iconic landmarks in Yosemite National Park, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. This granite dome rises 4,737 feet above the valley floor and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Photographers from all over the world come to capture the beauty of Half Dome, especially during sunrise and sunset when the light creates stunning colors and shadows. Some of the best photography locations include Glacier Point, Tunnel View, and Olmsted Point, which offer panoramic views of Half Dome and the surrounding mountains.
