This pack trip, now almost a decade behind me, was a different sort of trip in several ways. We began on the east side of the range in a high valley south of Mount Whitney. This was in an area that we had visited in the past, and on one occasions I spent several days going up and down an unmaintained pass until we finally all got together and climbed a nearby 14,000' peak. On the trip where I made the photograph we started out at the same trailhead but then skirted a bit south to cross the crest on a more popular trail. A bit further along to the west we left the main trail to visit a nearby lake, found a cross-country route out of its cirque, walked up a long valley to another lake, and camped there. I made the photograph on the evening of our arrival, looking back at tall ridges lining the valley we had ascended to get here.
There rest of the trip was unusual and special, too. On the next morning we skirted the lake and then headed up to find an unmarked route over a steep pass, dropping down abruptly from its summit into a long granite valley with several lakes. A day later we arrived at the usual west side route towards Mount Whitney. We stopped for lunch and moved on, heading north on the John Muir Trail. Eventually we crossed one of my favorite high spots along this trail and then descended to the junction with the trail over Shepherds Pass. We hung out in this area for a few days, investigating some more remote areas of the Upper Kern drainage before returning to this spot and then heading out over Shepherd Pass.

The facades catch the last of the sun, each window reflecting a softer version of the day just gone. A long row of buildings stands like silent witnesses to the tide, their repetition broken only by the looming tower in the background.
From the beach, the scene feels both ordinary and cinematic. Concrete and glass are transformed by the glow of evening. For a moment, the city looks less like a line of apartments and more like a theatre set, where stories unfold behind each lit square.
This is what draws me in: how light can turn repetition into rhythm, and how the urban edge of the sea reflects its hushed drama.

Reuniting with old friend is something which is very special. Sajid put the effort of visiting me in my place this evening . Came with his motorbike, we had a good chat and catching up some 'old' gossips. I spent few minutes to take Sajjd's photo right before he called for the evening.
