Golden Hour on Lembert Dome – Tuolumne Meadows. Yosemite National Park, California. July 21, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

I like this photograph because it evokes the quiet and warmth of early evening summer light in the Sierra. This group of university students was bunched together on the summit of Lembert Dome above Yosemite National Park’s Tuolumne Meadows, quietly watching the sunset scene unfold.
