Old Tree on Sentinel Dome

I photographed the remains of this pine tree that Ansel Adams photographed in 1940 on top of Sentinel Dome. If you would like to see the Ansel Adams image, please follow the following link: http://www.photocollect.com/homepage/dirchoice.html

When I climbed the Sentinel Dome the visibility was quite limited due to air pollution. Therefore I decided to concentrate more on close-up shots than on panoramic images. I wonder what the air pollution is doing to this magnificent park and I hope that future generations will be able to enjoy the park as much as I do.

Camera setting: 23mm focal length, f22, 1/3sec., ND filter, tripod mounted
