Standing out on the edge with a 5,000 foot drop below was a scary moment! But, it was all worth the view and photo!

This was a very unique evening on Glacier Point in Yosemite.  The entire valley was fogged in, creating a surreal feeling of being above the clouds while still on solid ground.  I captured this image as two daring men stood out on the overhangs, just inches away from the abyss below.

Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park offers an unparalleled view of Half Dome, a famous quartz monzonite batholith at the eastern end of Yosemite Valley. Named for its unique shape, Half Dome features a sheer vertical face on one side and smooth, rounded slopes on the other three, resembling a dome sliced in half. Standing at nearly 8,800 feet above sea level, this iconic landmark was formed from a magma chamber that cooled and crystallized beneath the Earth’s surface before erosion exposed its dramatic profile.

Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park offers one of the most iconic views of Half Dome, a monumental granite formation that rises 4,737 feet above Yosemite Valley. Shaped by glacial activity millions of years ago, Half Dome’s sheer face and curved summit have made it a symbol of the park’s rugged beauty. From this 7,214-foot overlook, visitors can admire its grandeur alongside sweeping views of Yosemite Valley, the Merced River, and the Sierra Nevada peaks. In the photo the summer sunset bathes Half Dome in warm, dramatic light.
