A squirrel and half dome

A Squirrel and Half Dome

Piece description from the artist

I have visited and photographed Yosemite National Park over the years, but this photograph is probably still my favorite. I was taking pictures at Glacier Point and I saw a group of people crouched low next to a wall so I took a closer look, and saw that they were photographing this chubby squirrel. I joined the group of people and captured this photo. In the background you can view mighty Half Dome, which is probably the most iconic image associated with this national park. Here, the little squirrel takes center stage, relegating mighty Half Dome to the background.
