Yosemite, USA<br />

EDGE OF<br />

THE WORLD<br />

B U L L E V A R D<br />

Rising almost 1,500m above Yosemite<br />

Valley and 2,700m above sea level, Half<br />

Dome is a California icon. <strong>The</strong> granite<br />

formation at the eastern end of the valley<br />

is the summit of a legendary hiking route<br />

which, until a couple of years ago, was just<br />

an item on photographer Emilio Maglione-<br />

Fulco’s bucket list. When he finally got the<br />

chance to hike it, he reached its peak at first<br />

light, just as the sun began to illuminate the<br />

valley. <strong>The</strong> photographer’s gaze was drawn<br />

to this little diving board of a rock – “a small<br />

outcropping far from the classic photo-op”<br />

– where he captured his companion, fellow<br />

snapper Justin Mayers, walking to the edge.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> way it cantilevered over the void<br />

allowed us to showcase the immensity of<br />

the rock face,” says Maglione-Fulco. “Only<br />

Yosemite is capable of making one feel<br />

such an awe-inspiring sense of scale.”<br />
