Big turnout of photographers. This light show only occurs once/year, and due to recent drought has not really worked for several years. A few internet pics spread the word, and "instant crowds".

My contribution:
Taken Friday, Feb. 19th. Clouds limited the effect, but still good show. This photo was taken from the south side road.




Taken Sat., Feb. 20th. Much better light, so more dramatic images. This photo was taken from the North side, closer to the base of El Capitan.
