Around the Dome

On August 16-18 Rony and I took three hikes which quite accidentally led us on a nearly complete circuit of Half Dome. The image above shows the three hikes in Google Earth. Below, I've marked the approximate locations of the photos on a topo map of Yosemite. Half Dome is in the center of the map.

The photos have been cropped so that Half Dome is about the same size in each one, and ordered, not chronologically, but sequentially as if walking around the dome.
