Mobius Arch (Pentax 645Nii / Velvia 100)

Alabama Hills, California, home of a dozen or so small stone arches carved out by the eroding forces of wind-blown sand.

Just realized how beautifully Velvia converts to B&W.

 

Alabama Hills is famous for a number Hollywood movie and television scenes including Gunga Din, Gunsmoke, and the Lone Ranger series.

Seems to be quite underrated as a tourist stop, but if you are in the June Lake area or driving up from Death Valley, it's definitely worth a visit -- especially if you have a proper SUV or Jeep with high clearance, so you can go offroad. You can definitely test out your wheels here! :-)
