If you’re an avid photographer then you’re probably familiar with Galen Rowell’s famous Firefall photo. Every February right about this time the sun is just right in the early evening to cast a read glow on a small waterfall on El Capitans eastern buttress causing it to turn a marvelous red color. If you’re in the area hang out until sunset and see if you can get a good shot. There should me a little more water flowing after this weekends storm.
Kudos to Edie for this beautiful shot.

I love Edie’s photography! I have a print of hers hanging in my office.
Steve, thank you for your wonderful comment. I’m flattered.
FYI, the light starts and stops between 5 and 5:30-ish right now. It tends to dwindle and then come back, so stay for a while.
Even clouds don’t alway impede the show–the sunlight sneaks in under the clouds.

What a fantastic picture; just perfectly timed. I love these kinds of shots!
