Hanayama cast metal "Möbius" puzzle, from Japan. The aim is to separate the disk from the Möbius ring, which is not very easy.

At ISO 6400 the sky can look amazing (and noisy). This is the Mobius Arch in Lone Pine California within the Alabama Hills at the base of Mt. Whitney
"Mobius Arch"
This arch is tucked away in the Alabama Hills of California. Many a Western movie was made in these parts. I scrambled in and around a few boulders to get to this vantage point to connect the arch with the Sierra Mountain Range. I wasn't sure I would make it to this area or not as many parts of California had been under significant snowfall. Hope you enjoy.
I'd seen pictures of this arch in the Alabama Hills east of the Sierra Nevada range, but didn't know where it was. Fortunately someone built a marked trail to it since I had last visited the area and it was only a short walk from the road. This angle shows Lone Pine Peak in the distance.
I was a bit late getting down Lone Pine and this arch is always the quickest to get too> So I decided to stop by the famous Mobius Arch.
Mobius Arch is a twisted stone portal and natural frame for the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The arch spans nearly seven feet and is known as one of the more recognizable arches in the region.
Mobius Arch is located on Movie Flat Road in the heart of the Alabama Hills. There is a small, easy to miss trailhead sign that you can follow for the half-mile to the arch. hiking Mobius Arch Loop Trail was nice. Seeing the arch from this angle is a beautiful view, but if you proceed around to the other side, you can perfectly frame Mt Whitney in the center of the Arch window. The arch window is about six and a half feet high. The sun light was strong. I was a bit regret missing sunset, and sunrise in this amazing place.

I wasn't sure I would make it to this area or not as many parts of California had been under significant snowfall. When I saw the Sierra Mountain range was snow-covered I knew I had to get this vantage point. One of my favorite photographs taken from this Spring. Hope you enjoy.

#Tape
And once again it's one of the last photos, taken today... I should start earlier in the week to at least think about what I could do for a theme. This time, a leftover piece of sew-on reflective tape came to my rescue. I taped it together to make a Möbius strip. I originally wanted to do something with very thin (only 3 mm / 0,11 inches wide) double-sided adhesive tape that one can use in scale modelling or watch modding or other small-sized DIY projects, but it looked dull. Then I thought I'd use regular clear adhesive tape, but...let's say: Hats off to anyone who has actually used clear adhesive tape for the theme. I found it impossible to present it in a nice-looking way, especially since my "photo studio" aka living room table isn't exactly a cleanroom ;) I already wanted to skip when I remembered my box full of tapes and other stuff which I'm using for makings bags and such, and since I always use reflective material on any bag I make, I also had some reflective tape in that box. Which made my Monday :)
Width of the Möbius strip: 3,5 cm / 1,377 inches; it's a single, handheld shot which I've illuminated with my makeshift colour filters (blue tealight holder on LED lamp from the left, another LED light shone through a green bottle from the right, and a small LED flashlight set on "spotlight" placed in front of the strip. Processed mainly in DXO (the basics such as sharpness and noise reduction) and LR (where I added some "colour oomph" with the primary sliders). And yes, I focused on the lint ;)
HMM, Everyone!
One thing many of us have in common is appreciating the differences in the sky throughout the day. It’s natural to appreciate changes in nature, watching processes take place with effortless ease. You might actively enjoy sky-gazing or just love when you catch those moments of changes in the sky. Regardless, most people love watching the colors ignite and fade.
Mobius Arch is the most famous arch in the Alabama Hills where there are dozens of them. Unfortunately our stay in Lone Pine did not correspond to the most auspicious time to photograph the Milky Way. We had too much bright moon. So I had to make do with another Milky Way I had on hand.
Happy Slider Sunday!

Thank you very much for your kind comments and faves.
Using the 28mm F1.8 Prime proved to be challenging. I finally figured out a focus stack was the only solution

Preston band Mobius Loop are bringing their Spring Tour to The Ferret this Friday.
A spokesperson for the band said it will be ‘an evening of ecstatic mayhem full of stomping rebel songs and whirling orgasmic waltzes’.
Describing themselves as creating eccentric and philosophical folk stories, Mobius Loop fuses world music and conscious rap.
The group’s mission is to raise positive vibrations, projecting an organic cooperative voice for humanist spirituality, vegan philosophy, grassroots philanthropy, true democracy, and alchemical magic.
The popular band kicked off their Spring Tour on Wednesday in West Malvern near Worcester and will go on to play cities including Bristol, Liverpool, and Manchester.
(Preston news)
It's a fantastic band to watch if you have the opportunity.
Katie Rose is a great singer and an excellent violinist player too.

Competition for shooting at Mobius Arch is fierce. But, shooting it from the "backside" enabled a sun star. The shape of the arch looks totally different from this side.
While staying in Death Valley we went on a road trip to Lone Pine and the Alabama Hills. A gorgeous area to which we definitely want to return. This is the famed Mobius Arch in the afternoon. There were so many people here I had to wait awhile to get a shot without people.

M.C. Escher (artist and mathematician) enjoyed working with it.
The infinite journey of consciousness (some call it Soul, others call it Spirit) through understanding,healing and learning is coherent .

Lori Hibbett (www.flickr.com/photos/lorihibbett/) photographs Mobius Arch in California's Eastern Sierra. What a treat to have this spot to ourselves, before dawn on this frosty December morning!
Several of the Alabama Hills' 100+ arches are covered on pages 91-94 in my guidebook, "Photographing California Vol. 2 - South". I've bought the remaining stock from my publisher, so contact me to buy a copy!
Lori was with me from the beginning as I started researching, writing and illustrating locations for the book back in 2010, so it was fitting that the was with me again as I came full circle back to this spot.
LA airport was so crowd, almost no people wore masks; Traffic was crazy as always. After renting the car, headed to Lone Pine. It was supposed to drive 3 hr 21 min from Los Angeles International Airport to Lone Pine, but it took more than 6 hours getting there due to traffic. Missed sunset at Mobius Arch, too late to check the sunrise location for next day.
Woke up around 4:30am, drove in the dark to Lone Pine. Thanks google, did not navigate to river… When arriving to Movie Road, there was a car in front of us. We stopped at the same time; 4 local senior photographers were off the car. I asked them where the best location was to capture sunrise, one guy joked with me, it is worth $6k to tell me the secret 😉
After taking sunrise photos along Movie Road, headed to Mobius Arch, hiking Mobius Arch Loop Trail was nice. The sun light was strong. I was a bit regret missing sunset, and sunrise in this amazing place. Always leaving some regrets to next time 😊

The Panamint Mountains, near Death Valley, can be seen in the distance through Mobius Arch in the Alabama Hills. Most photos I've seen look the other way towards the Eastern Sierra, but all the spots were taken when we arrived. I had to lie on my back to get this shot.
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful autumn weekend. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

The Alabama Hills were named by prospectors sympathetic to the Confederate cause. They named their mining claims after a warship named the CSS Alabama which sank over 50 Union ships.
