From Olmsted Point on the Tioga Road, you can clearly see Half Dome out in the distance. The view is a lot different than we normally see from the Valley. I took this shot yesterday and you can see Sub Dome and the main bump of Half Dome.

Half Dome from Olmstead Point

While walking the last mile to Half Dome recently, I looked out to the right, towards Clouds Rest and there before me sat a miniature Half Dome. Compare this view with the one above.

Little Half Dome

Wow – pretty darn close to the same. As I walked over to give it a look, I could see a trail of ants working their way to the top. . . . just like on the real Half Dome. The only thing missing from a true out-of-body experience would have been teeny tiny cables going up. This one is only about 5 feet high.  Ah, the things the mind does when deprived of water.
