Alpenglow paints its warm light on the face of Yosemite's El Capitan. This kind of light can only be witnessed during the winter and after a clearing storm when the sun sets to the west-southwest at the perfect angle. If the sun can find a break in the clouds, it's warm light (alpenglow) can be seen. Yosemite National Park, California, USA.
