The Sun rising over Convict Lake.
Convict Lake is a lake in the Sherwin Range of the Sierra Nevada in California, United States. It is known for its fishing and the dramatic mountains (including Mount Morrison) that surround the lake. Its surface lies at an elevation of 7,850 ft. (2,393 m).
The lake was named after an incident on September 23, 1871, where a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City. A posse, from Benton, led by Deputy Sheriff George Hightower, encountered the convicts near the head of what is now Convict Creek. Posse member Robert Morrison, a Benton merchant and Wells Fargo Agent, was killed in the encounter, and Mount Morrison was named after him.
From the very bottom of archives, or at least close to it. Eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, somewhere along the Tioga Road between Mono Lake and Yosemite National Park. Technically, part of the Inyo National Forest. The geotag is a little approximate.

"Lo que aprendà aislado en la cima de la montaña todo el verano, la Visión de Pico Desolación, quise llevarlo al mundo y a mis amigos de San Francisco, pero estos, apremiados por la vida y el tiempo, no por la eternidad y la soledad de las nevadas rocas de montaña, tenÃan una lección que enseñarme a su vez. Además, la visión sobre la libertad de la eternidad que tuve y que han tenido todos los santos eremitas del desierto es de poca utilidad en las ciudades y las sociedades belicosas como la nuestra. ¿Qué mundo es este en el que no solo la amistad elimina la hostilidad, sino que la hostilidad elimina la amistad, y la tumba y la urna de las cenizas lo eliminan todo? Hay tiempo de sobra para morir en la ignorancia, pero ahora que vivimos lo que celebraremos, ¿qué diremos? ¿Qué hacer? ¿Qué, carne envalentonada en Brooklyn y en todas partes, estómagos enfermos, corazones recelosos, calles difÃciles, choques de ideas, humanidad entera que arde de odio? Lo primero que advertà al llegar a S. F. con mi hato y mis mensajes fue que todo el mundo hacÃa el vago, perdÃa el tiempo, no era serio, competÃa por trivialidades, se acobardaba ante Dios, pues incluso los ángeles luchan. Yo solo sé una cosa: todos los habitantes de este mundo son ángeles, Charles Chaplin y yo les hemos visto las alas…".

Sierra Nevada, also called Sierra Nevadas, major mountain range of western North America, running along the eastern edge of the U.S. state of California. Its great mass lies between the large Central Valley depression to the west and the Basin and Range Province to the east. Extending more than 250 miles (400 kilometres) northward from the Mojave Desert to the Cascade Range of northern California and Oregon, the Sierra Nevada varies from about 80 miles wide at Lake Tahoe to about 50 miles wide in the south. Its magnificent skyline and spectacular landscapes make it one of the most beautiful physical features of the United States. Biologically, it is home to the largest trees in the world—the giant sequoias. As a recreation centre, its year-round facilities prove a magnet to the inhabitants of the huge urban areas of California, and it has considerable importance as a source of power and water. It was the focus of the celebrated California gold rush.
