Olmsted Point by the light of the full moon.

Olmsted point is famous as a viewpoint into Yosemite Valley. But it's unique granite formations along with it's scattering of boulders make it photogenic in its own right.

Yosemite was carved by massive glaciers during our last ice age. Every one of the boulders strewn on the point was transported there from somewhere else by the glacier then deposited as the glacier melted.

The diagonal white streaks in the sky are star trails.
