I was here all day. Early morning it was snowing lightly, but cleared up later in the day.

Looks like nasty wind up Whitney way.
I'll wait till summer.

Nice. You ever get to Convict Lake going through that area? Nice mountain trout lake. Bridgeport has some huge browns!!

Thanks for the "eye candy"

Ha ha, for some reason it's hard to keep your eyes on the road on that part of the 395.
This version is much safer.

No, I just pass through these places, and never get a chance to get off the main roads.

Thanks PB and ALL!

There was a photographer who went by the name of A Adams in these parts. I figure you have seen the better half of him based on your images.
Somehow the wind swept image of Whitney shall forever haunt my screensaver. besting a local legend.

Thank you indeed!

And the '360' view from the top of Whitney isn't too bad either.
Don....
PS: Craig, are you referring to this pic?

Follows Camp Craig · Dec 22, 2013

Yes, that's Ansel Adams!

I could be mistaken but I believe ronwoodcrafts image is of the Whitney portal with the Alabama hills in the foreground.

There's just something special about that area.

Mackaydon · Dec 22, 2013

Yes, that's the foothills of Whitney and the Alabama Hills. This pic seems to have been taken from just south of Lone Pine. Whitney, itself, it not the peak on the right, but actually obscured in the clouds to the left of that peak. And because Whitney is located further to the west (and therefore is closer to the horizon from the viewer's vision in Lone Pine), it is frequently incorrectly guessed as not being Whitney.
