On the Glacier Point Road: The famous Jeffrey Pine photographed by Ansel Adams and countless other photographers on top of Sentinel Dome in Yosemite National Park is now found lying on its side. Alive until a drought in the 1970's killed it, a timeless quiet beauty can still be found in the tree as another day gives way to evening.
