Back from eastern Sierra

After 2.5 days of cycling (my back injury abated) and 1.5 days of photography (gotta get more time at it!), I’m back from the eastern Sierra and White Mountains. Much work remains in going through images, which will take time, but see a few below.

Unusually low snowfall this year (allegedly 30% of normal) advanced the season by 3-4 weeks. Whereas last year the drone of snowmobilers bedeviled those favoring simpler pastimes at Sonora Pass, this year could not even muster enough snow to cool a six pack, so the snowmobilers stayed home.

Following biking, I headed to the White Mountains. I have many images, but I’ve only begun to go through them. The two images below were experiments, the results of which appeal to me.

Sunset glow—to the East—optical effect?
