Yosemite

The storm clouds closed in around Half Dome and it started to snow. <br />
<br />
A large glow from above created some unique lighting conditions through the storm clouds, bathing the Elm tree in soft light, while the surrounding trees were in shadow.<br />
<br />
I was fortunate to be set up observing the scene develop and capture the moment while it unfolded before me...<br />
