Sunset and Moonrise at Yosemite

by Teamrat Ghezzehei

This side view of Half Dome at Yosemite National Park (California, USA) was taken from Washburn Point, a less frequented overlook a few hundred meters away from the popular Glacier Point outlook. The sun just on the right side behind the camera, which gave the orange tint to the back side of Half Dome. At the same time a full moon was mere minutes from bursting in the background, which resulted in the warm glow of the horizon. A few stars have already started appearing on the clear sky and a few star trails are visible.
