El Capitan and the Merced River        Images © Mark A. Chappell

The southwest face of El Capitan is reflected in the calm water of the Merced River in these afternoon scenes.   When I took these photos in November 2007, the Sierra were in a severe drought and the low water levels had reduced the river to a series of pools and riffles.
      Other views of El Capitan are here.
