If the boulder strewn Alabama Hills look familiar it may be because they were used as a location for many movies.
Mt. Whitney seen from the Alabama hills. Not sure which peak it is?
Here is a close up. Mt. Whitney is the triangular peak in the center.
This is barren, rugged country, but beautiful none-the-less.
ReplyDeleteGreat clouds against a beautiful blue sky. I love those hills and mountains.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky shots. What a gorgeous view.
ReplyDeleteThe Eastern Sierra region is very mysterious and magical. And oh so pretty isn't it? And always have good skies.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful place. Your photos are outstanding Martha!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views. You were quite high up. It's funny; this scenery reminds me of some of the Andean views I saw in Peru!
ReplyDeleteWonderful views!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nature and pictures! :)
The clouds are touching the rock. You live in a beautiful rugged place.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, amazing landscape! =)
ReplyDeleteGreat rugged scenery!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots of a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteGlorious craggy mountains and beautiful skies, Martha. Hope you're enjoying some good weather.
ReplyDeleteI love the intense sunshine on that youthful landscape.
ReplyDeleteIncredible scenery! Very beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly left me with a lot to catchup on... green herons are a favorite, we've seen them in Florida. Wonderful sky/mountain shots!!
ReplyDeleteHi Martha, I also have my Alabama Hills post, but we walked all the way to the Arch. I should have read more about it before we went so we could capture different shapes. Definitely going back in the Fall.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteJust Stunning! Looks like a movie set for Lord of the Rings. Great photos all!

I love the layered look with different colors and textures. The boulders are pretty fascinating too. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteSome of the comments above about the landscape in the Valley being like what Peter Jackson got on film in LOTR are spot-on. I like watching the movies almost as much for the New Zealand version of basin and range as I do for the stories. These are great shots, Martha. The place is so photogenic that it's hard not to get good pictures, but yours are definitely several notches above even some of the postcard shots you can buy down at the Visitor's Center.
