The Eastern Sierra

 

OK, I’m on a trip in California dedicated almost entirely to photography.  This time Connie stayed home and Dave Cecaci came along because he is now retired and he likes photography as much as I do.  That’s Dave in the red shirt.

Monday we met in Sacramento then head over to Highway 395 which runs down the east side of California.  We set up the trailer in the town of Big Pine before driving east into the White Mountains to get some pictures of the ancient Bristlecone pines at sunset.  If you haven’t heard of the Bristlecones here is some explanation.  I guess they are the oldest living things on earth.

Dave took a picture of me trying out some new angles.  By the way, the elevation here is around 10,000 feet!

Here is what we were after.  We didn’t get the kind of sunset were hoping for but we were actually very pleased with our results anyway.
