Tunnel View Sunset Moonrise

A nearly full Moon rises over El Capitan right around sunset, in this scene captured from Tunnel View in Yosemite NP. This view encompasses a number of other iconic Yosemite landmarks. The snowy peak just to the right of El Cap is Cloud's Rest, then there's Half Dome to its right. The snow-capped peak to the right of Half Dome is Sentinel Dome, which peeks out just above one of the three massive pinnacles of Cathedral Rocks, below which flows the elegant Bridalveil Fall.

 

This is a four frame panorama shot in portrait mode, with the final composite cropped in a bit on the bottom and sides.
