"Alchemy" - A Power or Process of Transforming Something Common Into Something Special

Every year I eagerly await the opening of Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park. I have missed it the last two years, but not this year. The climb up Sentinel Dome was still covered in snow, but not difficult to climb. The view was spectacular! On the top of Sentinel Dome there is a 360 degree view of most of Yosemite National park.

The first photo is Looking North from Sentinel Dome at Yosemite Falls. On the left is North Dome in front and Basket Dome behind it. On the Right is Half Dome with Clouds Rest behind it and Tenaya Canyon in the middle.
