Description
El Capitan (Yosemite) is a 3000 foot high vertical piece of granite. Climbers challenge it all year; and rarely can they scale it in one day. Can you imagine sleeping in hammock hanging off the face of that big rock? I can't!!
We arrived shortly after the rain stopped, but the sky was still cloudy. It gave El Cap a rather mysterious feel.

Astonishing to think that anyone would do that! This is a really moody looking piece of rock. I could give myself nightmares just thinking about climbing the first 10 feet.
JUST LIKE PARADISE
Excellent!! Thanks for sharing. Are you ever getting back to Texas, Houston~Galveston area?
If I want to get up in the air I can take a plane, thank you very much. Besides, once they get up to the top they just have to come back down again. This is a fantastic shot. The fog/mist/clouds bump up the visual interest wonderfully well.
great and mystical shot !!i can't ...too :)
Wow what a beautiful capture of this mountain Marilyn..
very moody indeed my friend...excellent shot
Awesome shot.
Really nice capture!
Very mysterious scene who knows what creatures are lying in wait...
bel endroit!!
Wow, what a wonderful shot of this massive cliff! No, I'd not even try climbing it, much less sleep hanging off of it!
One of my favorite places we have a timeshare there great capture scary thoughts : lol
Stellar mood atmosphere shot of this moody mountain, Marilyn. Kind of reminds me of the mountain, shapewise, in the movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
A fantastic climb I would imagine, but a little too dedicated for me. I prefer my bed at night.
my dad say he almost fall off the top of this mountain. love the fog here
Did you see the article in the Geographic a couple months ago? They're doing what they call 'speed climbing' up there now. The record for climbing El Capitan is just a little over two and a half HOURS. That's free climbing, of course. The ultimate in crazy!
cool mist capture warm hugs, Linda
Awesome and wonderful photo! The clouds really add the the mood and atmosphere!
beautiful~
Amazing shot! I know this isn't Devil's Tower, and yet the similarities are striking (the same geological forces created them, ya know) and I keep expecting to see that giant Steven Spielberg Mother Ship looming over it, just before spewing out that rather high-pitched 5-note musical message that defined the entire ending of Close Encounters of the Third Kind...hmmm...and I just had the image of someone sleeping in a hammock on the side of that just as that huge, merry-go-round on steroids does that hovering thing. Anyway, enough rambling. What a shot! I love the ragged mist. It does add a certain mystique to this already wonderfully evocative shot. There's a bit on the right side of this shot that looks as if the mist has decided to be a waterfall. I really like that. I like this shot a whole heck of a lot. It rocks. Hmmm...was that a pun?
A fantastic shot of El Capitan and no way anyone is going to get me to climb up that rock face. Dana
Wonderful shot! A different look at an oft photographed landmark. Well done!
