Mobius and Jupiter
The evolution of a Sunrise, Mobius Arch.
The following three images were taken over the span of an hour or so as the sun crested above the Coso's range and began to light the Sierra Peaks. The Alabama Hills are full of natural arches and Mobius is without a doubt the most famous. However, despite its fame, its not the easiest place to find if you don't know what you're looking for. After driving around the night before and not noticing the trailhead I decided to consult the internet for advice. After finding some vague directions I set out at about 5am the next morning in an attempt find it for the sunrise. After finding what I hoped was the trail head I grabbed my gear and a flash light and set out in the dark on a small trail leading out amongst the giant boulders and rock formations.
This shot was taken about 45 minutes before sunrise. The early light was just beginning to peak over the Coso Range behind me to provide a bit of blue in an otherwise dark sky. The bright "star" to the right of the arch is actually Jupiter, just about to set for the day.
