I didn’t realize that people were in the photo when I saved this image.
Webcams are courtesy of Yosemite Conservatory https://yosemite.org
The webcam did it for me. And I didn't even know until 2 days later. I wonder if the visitors knew it was there.
It's on Sentinel Dome. I never saw one. I'll post a photo or two that I took there.
Yosemite Falls is playing peek a boo with clouds right now. When there are clouds (or snow) it's an ever-changing sight.
Webcams are available to everyone at the YC site above. I bookmarked 4 webcam URL's after they changed along with camera upgrades. The "El Capitan" webcam is very sensitive. I get star pix at night. And the lamps of climbers camping out on El Cap.
TBH, this and the Half Dome rainbow photo are a couple of the best, and with no effort.
Enjoy.
I will.
Others aren't so easy. 😥
