Hello Jens,
Wonderful take on Half Dome! While agreeing with impressions above, what magnificent serendipity! Of course I can not know how often you haunted the location to have it "happen". There is a location in the mountains north of here where that fleeting fire occurs...never prepared with a camera. Always such events take me back through the historic record of how the place came to be... Wonderful! What had you carried with you to take this shot?
