Afternoon Shadows, El Capitan Meadow. Yosemite National Park, California. November 3, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell

This was not a shot I planned to take. I was in the Valley and on my way to another place where I planned to shoot in the early evening when I drove past this spot and saw the boundary between light and shadow falling across these trees. I quickly pulled over, grabbed my gear, set up the tripod and made a few exposures before the light disappeared.
