El Capitan.

Yosemite National Park. Photographing Yosemite Valley in the early morning was very exciting, that is, after getting out of my sleeping bag with freezing temperatures and putting on all my warm clothes! I went to this location where I knew the light at sunrise could be special in early Spring. Since it was cloudy, I stood there hoping for some direct sun light to get through and as I was getting ready to leave, it happened! Very often, being patient can be very rewarding.
