Landscape: Yosemite National Park, etc.: Sunset in Yosemite Valley

It had been stormy all day, and as is often the case, the storm cleared just before sunset and the lighting was great! The orange glow you see on El Capitan was caused by the sun filtered through clouds above my head and out of the shot. The sunlight on Half Dome and Cloud's Rest in the background was direct and did not have any cloud obscurity.
