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.
Great clouds against a beautiful blue sky. I love those hills and mountains.
Beautiful sky shots. What a gorgeous view.
The Eastern Sierra region is very mysterious and magical. And oh so pretty isn't it? And always have good skies.
Such a beautiful place. Your photos are outstanding Martha!
Beautiful views. You were quite high up. It's funny; this scenery reminds me of some of the Andean views I saw in Peru!
Wonderful views!
Beautiful nature and pictures! :)
The clouds are touching the rock. You live in a beautiful rugged place.
Beautiful photos, amazing landscape! =)
Great rugged scenery!
Gorgeous shots of a beautiful place.
Glorious craggy mountains and beautiful skies, Martha. Hope you're enjoying some good weather.
I love the intense sunshine on that youthful landscape.
Incredible scenery! Very beautiful post.
You certainly left me with a lot to catchup on... green herons are a favorite, we've seen them in Florida. Wonderful sky/mountain shots!!
Hi 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.
Wow, those are beautiful!!
Just 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!
Some 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.
