<p>Half Dome Clearing</p><p>A winter storm has coated Half Dome and the surrounding pines in fresh snow. The granite face rises sharply against a clear, cold sky, framed by dark evergreens that highlight the crisp light, deep shadows, and serene stillness of Yosemite in winter.

<p>Zur Zeit bin ich nicht sehr aktiv hier, weil mir irgendwie die Energie fehlt, alles nachzulesen, geschweige denn, etwas zu posten.

You can&#x27;t really ever count on anything except that whatever conditions you have at any given moment most likely won&#x27;t be what you have later.

Gemütliche Schneematschrunde. Der erste Lauf mit langer Hose diesen Winter, wäre aber nicht nötig gewesen, mir war schweinewarm.
