Today’s Photo of the Day is one of a collection that Edie took the other night of the controlled burn taking place in Yosemite Valley just west of El Capitan.
Beautiful stuff, Edie. Be sure to check out the whole collection on Flickr and then head over to Edie’s site LittleRedTent.net.

Glad you liked the pictures, Loyd. Chris Loberg and I went out to Gates of the Valley specifically to shoot the fires. While we were there, some folks from YTS came by and obliged us by pointing their headlights across the river. You can see it here:

The fires were actually burning on the north side of the river, but seen from this perspective, they appear to be on the far side.
