View from the Merced

Although May is a great time of the year for exceptional waterfalls it is not the best time for sunsets.  The angle of the light at sunset just does not hit Half Dome rights from the iconic locations such as Glacier Point and Washburn Point.  Similarly Tunnel view sunsets are weak compared to later in the year. This is one of two evenings where the light on El Capitan made it worth photographing.  (Photographed May 2016 during my Yosemite & Monolake workshop.)
