Constellation of Climbers
Yosemite National Park, California | 2023
On this September evening, the headlamps of about 20 climbers are visible at various heights on the 3,000-vertical-foot granite wall of El Capitan.
Earlier this evening, my wife and I were sitting here along the Merced River, enjoying a bottle of wine while I was shooting photos of the afternoon and sunset light on El Cap. We didn't have binoculars but we could pick out about four groups of climbers on the wall and watched them slowly progress up their routes. After sunset I stuck around a half hour longer to keep photographing El Cap in the after-glow light, and that's when I started seeing dozens of headlamps spread over the wall - many more climbers than we could see in the daylight! So I stayed there even longer after dark taking "star" shots of the constellation of climbers on the wall! Such a cool and unexpected experience. Photo © copyright by Jack Brauer.
