The Sierra Nevada from the road to the White Mountains during a cloudburst. From the archives, taken in May 2014.

I hope everyone has a great week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

The Milky Way rises over Saddlerock Lake, in the Eastern Sierra Nevada.

I took this shot at Saddlerock Lake just below Bishop Pass in the Eastern Sierras. My hopes had been dashed for grabbing a reflection of the Milky Way on the lake at around sunset when the wind started picking up and continued throughout the evening. Despite the harsh winds I managed to find a spot next to this semi-petrified tree stump that would be relatively unaffected by the wind and still include the lake.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!

Have a great weekend my friends!! :)

If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

. . . and rock gawking in the eastern Sierra Nevada. The mix of sun and clouds made for some nice lighting, until the clouds won the day, and the rains came.

I've hiked over to Humphreys Basin a few times, and while the scenery on the west side is outstanding for other reasons, the views of Mount Humphreys are much better on the easily accessible east side.

Es una pequeña laguna artificial que almacena agua captada en los Lavaderos de la Reina para abastecer la Acequia del Tío Papeles. Esta es una de las muchas acequias que desde tiempo inmemorial existen en la sierra y que servían para irrigar campos y pastizales. Al mismo tiempo recargaban los acuíferos de la zona alimentando multitud de fuentes y surgimientos en cotas inferiores. Estas acequias se las conoce como "acequias de careo".

The Eastern Sierras from a place I hadn't been to before. Many thanks to my friend Jean Day who showed me this location.

Situadas en la confluencia de los ríos Genil y San Juan estas casitas que pertenecían a la Compañía Sevillana de Electricidad eran empleadas como "alojamientos rurales" por personal de la empresa.

Unos metros más abajo se inició la construcción de otro grupo de casas que nunca llegaron a terminarse y actualmente se encuentran en estado ruinoso.

Just outside the North Gate of Yosemite, along old Route 120.

A band of snow over the high country as the sun went down in the eastern Sierra.

Fall storm breaks in the Eastern Sierra.

Some peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains from an overlook in the White Mountains. I'll be off for a flickr break for another project so see you in a bit.

I once had a water bottle the color of these lakes. Unfortunately, it floated away one day. It can be replaced. This cannot.

I’m often undecided on whether a scene will look better with direct light, or later with supposedly better atmospheric color. This particular scene loses sun 2 hours before sunset this time of year, so I snapped this just before the sun dipped below a nearby ridge. I wish it was closer to golden hour, but I’m happy with the definition the direct light puts on the various contours of the landscape. I wasn’t confident in the sunset colors happening, which turned out to be a good hunch. I guess I’ll go back and try some other time. . .

Near Lake Alpine in the Stanislaus National Forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in California. In the Range of Light sometimes you have to switch to monochrome....

Ayer había nubes y nieblas por la parte norte de Sierra Nevada, así que de seguro es mejor tomar la foto por la tarde donde la luz peina esta zona.

Foto tomada desde la zona del Puerto de la Mora.

Lente Nikkor 18-55 del Kit.

Desde la sombra de la rama izquierda pues el sol daba en la lente.

From a trip to Death Valley in 2008 on Memorial Day weekend. We made it over Sonora Pass before the road was closed due to heavy snow fall.
