As I drove into Yosemite on this afternoon after a major snow storm, the park was shrouded in fog. Getting to the bend in the Merced River with a perfect view of El Capitan was easy as not many other people had bothered to come into the park under these conditions. But I knew there were clouds breaking to the west and if that continued something special could happen. Setting up my camera on the river’s edge, the towering granite peak was completely obscured by the mist. And then slowly, oh so slowly it began to clear. Now if only the sun could break through I hoped. And then it happened! First a sliver of light midway up slicing the face. And then a little more and a little more. A couple people had set up near me now as I was literally cheering on the light out loud. “C’mon, c’mon, you can do it……..YES!!!! Yeeeeeehaw” just as the light set the majestic rock face aglow as El Cap rose from the mist below.
