This is one of those serendipitous shots that happen from time to time. I'd spent the night at Yosemite National Park at Glacier Point and the Tunnel Overlook trying to capture star-trail shots.
On the way out of the park just before 08:00, I happened to glimpse at my side-view mirror and caught this gorgeous light on El Capitan. I pulled over at the first stop and quickly set up my gear.
I was so fortunate to capture this view at just this time. The light quickly dulled and I headed out.
