Meadow Lake Half Dome

2023 brought relief from a long standing drought in central California and the Sierra. The spring snow melt made lakes where only meadows were seen for years. I found this once overlooked view of Half Dome reflecting its glory in the newly formed reflection pond. I rolled up my pant legs and waded knee deep into the water to find this photographic composition. One of the most unique and inspiring images I have ever made, God glory was spectacularly on display.
