Halfdome Among Granite and Trees

Halfdome Among Granite and Trees - M9, 50 Summilux, ~f/9.5, 1/350s, ISO 160

On my drive through Yosemite in mid afternoon on my way to Bishop this summer, I spotted a scene which I liked despite the harsh light.  It was Halfdome tucked away with trees below and fluffy clouds above.  Though I made a mental note to return here to photograph this scene in better light, I couldn't resist the temptation to make just one image and try to compensate for the harsh light later.
