Thanks, everyone.
Will post tomorrow.
Have been out of town.
Jim, no, just lightened the shadows a bit....
The light was long-lasting, and incredible.

I've known about this place since I was a child, but had never seen it. I always imagined it to be in a more mountainous area. Thanks for the education!
