Daybreak Works Its Way into the Valley

            As the morning continues beyond sunrise, the winter sun slowly makes its way down El Capitan, warming the Yosemite Valley below, and shifting the fog through the valley.

This visage, from the Tunnel View overlook, is one of the most iconic of the Yosemite Valley.  From this point, you can see El Capitan and Half-Dome, Clouds Rest, Sentinel Dome, Leaning Tower, the Cathedral Rocks, and Bridalveil Fall.

A beautiful scene all throughout the year, it is especially compelling during sunrise and sunset.
