Cathedral Rocks, Yosemite National Park The clouds were creating interesting shapes this spring day, including what looks like a lenticular cloud above Cathedral Rocks. The meadow in the foreground often has a seasonal lake at this time of year, forming a perfect reflecting pool. There is an interesting painting of Cathedral Rocks in the winter by Alfred Bierstadt from this viewpoint.
Late Afternoon, Olmsted Point; View Toward Half Dome The short trail to this rocky point in front of the Olmsted Point viewing area is worth taking, yet not many people do. It's a peaceful place to sit and watch the changing clouds -- here enshrowding Half Dome away to the southwest. The evocatively named Clouds Rest is to the left.
