This was taken near Lone Pine, California in the Alabama Hills. That's Mount Whitney in the background, just left of center. (A well-known photograph of Ansel Adams was taken from near this location.)

You're right, Patrick! Not as many people know that area, even with Mt. Whitney in the background! It's such a great place to photograph - so many unique viewpoints. Yes, Ansel did some nice work in that area - Mt. Tom was the famous one that I can think of, with large rocks in the foreground - that's further north, but I think he also did some work right in the Alabama Hills, he must have!

Mileage marker 13 going to Monument Valley

Is this stretch of road where they filmed a part of the movie "Forrest Gump"? I'll have to get a video capture... it looks like the part where Forrest quits his cross-country run, with the big group of runners following him. He stops and says something like "I'm tired, I think I'll go home now."

Does anybody have the video to compare it?

Brenda, those are both great photos!!! I'm sorry to be slow to respond. I've been to Lone Pine before but it has been a long time. The photo of Ansel Adams I was thinking of shows a snow covered Mt. Whitney in the background, a very dark Alabama Hills in the middle, and a horse munching grass in the foreground. The light spotlights Mt. Whitney and the horse. I have seen a print of the "straight" negative, and one of the hills has an "L" on it, which he eliminated in the musuem print.

Thanks - glad you like them! It's pretty humorous how many people always thought how "pure" Ansel was in his work, but he did a lot of manipulation in the darkroom - it was the 'performance' of the 'musical score', I think he called it. I remember that L in the straight neg, too.
