Awakening To-tock-ah-noo-lah

Early morning light illuminates the 3000 foot vertical face of El Capitan ( also known as To-tock-ah-noo-lah " Rock chief" by the Ahwahneechee people of Yosemite Valley).

 

A blend of several photos taken at different exposure levels, longer exposure levels for the foreground and water and a much faster exposure level for the rock face so that it does not overwhelm the photo with blown out highlights.
