During Christmas a giant storm hit the Eastern Sierras and dumped about 10 feet of snow on the mountains. I planned on arriving at Yosemite just as the storm cleared but by the time I rented a 4-wheel drive vehicle and made my way through chain control and into Yosemite most of the storm had gone. The radar showed more clouds coming and I held our breath that sunset would be nice.After visiting several stops around the Yosemite Valley I settled on returning to Tunnel View for sunset. Joined by a gazillion other photographers I witnessed a beautiful sunset. Although the clouds did not light up with much color there was an absolutely beautiful stripe of color that appeared on El Capitan, as some clouds made enough room for the light to seep in. This evening turned out to be pretty much everything we asked for: a snowy white Yosemite, some color in the sky, a mark of light on El Capitan, and low fog creeping into the valley.
