Nice shot. I like the wisps of cloud angular lighting on the rugged rock.

Thanks! Those clouds were moving pretty fast through those openings and I tried to grab some video but it wound up being very shaky.

Thank you! And yeah the eastern side of the Sierra is the sharp/dramatic side of the range.

Nice pic. The low clouds on the crevices are nice. Love this area. Did you get a chance to go up to Mammoth. There are some nice vistas on way to Devils Postpile of the Minarets, great sunrise shots as valley dark in front as light hits minarets. Alabama mountains are nice too on way to Mt Whitney. Love eastern Sierras. Used to work in Bishop once a month ages ago. pretty country. Fishing good too

Very nice pic! An occasion for me to discover the highest mountain in the USA, excepted Alaska; I remember being in the lowest place in the USA (bad water in Death Valley) and learning that from that point, we where able to see Mount Whitney; unfortunately, it was not the case for me.

Thanks and great to know about the road to Devils Postpile/the sunrise. And yeah we love that area too. We go as often as we can, often up to Lee Vining/Mono Lake.

Wonderful image with nice light! Love the eastern Sierras. I used to do a lot of hiking in them...from Big Pine up to Mammoth. GREAT place to hike.

Great view. When I was a grad student at UCLA I thought about walking up whitney. Now 45+ years later, I think I have aged out.

The Osprey should be nesting on the Tufa soon if not already just FYI if you haven't seen that. We used to camp at Virginia Lakes years ago and Twin Lakes out of Bridgeport.

Yeah, I tried a couple of times 20+ years ago to show up early and get the permit but didn't succeed. Now, I wouldn't even try.

Great to know. I may actually get up there for a couple of days soon. Have only been to Bridgeport once but keep meaning to go back.

could you let me know the progress of the ospreys when you go. Go to the Tufa site at south side on Mono Lake. Violet Green swallows will greet you. Also Eared grebes around
