I never thought I would get a shot of a sunset at Olmstead Point. The evening before I took this shot, the sun had disappeared behind some thick clouds. Patience paid off the next evening, when I was sure there wouldn't be a sunset. Then the clouds parted and the sun began to shine, creating a surreal orange color on the mountains, including Half Dome seen in the distance.
