Mobius Arch Sunburst

Mobius Arch - Whitney Portal - Alabama Hills

 

I arrived in Lone Pine, CA at about 5:00 p.m. planning to do a little hiking before attempting some late night arch shooting. Upon noticing the sun dipping below a bank of clouds, I quickly scampered down the trail to the most photographed arch in the area, and set up. I captured several different views as the sun was setting , but for now I am content to post this take.

 

Framed within the left third of the arch window is Lone Pine Peak. Currently at an elevation of 14, 404 ft, Mt. Whitney is the tallest peak in the Lower 48, and is seen here framed in the right third of the arch window.
