Another image from the alien dream world of Mono Lake.
Driving up on Hwy-1 back in 2013, the marine layer had been thick all day and this was my third attempt to visit McWay Falls for a sunset and Milky Way shot. As I snuggled down in the car seat trying to get comfortable and catch some zees prior to the late night shoot, things did not look too promising as there were still thick clouds preventing the stars from peeking down. The alarm went off and I reluctantly peaked out almost hoping that the clouds were still there so I could continue my slumber. But by golly, the stars were shining brightly and it was time get out and get busy. It turned out to be a memorable night and I can't wait to get back there again.
Another amazing ancient Bristlecone Pine tree in the Eastern Sierra Mountains. The exquisite and gnarled structure of the tree weathered over a few thousand years makes you wonder what amazing events it has experienced during its lifetime.
