Beautiful contrast between foreground, mountains and sky, Phyllis! I am confused, though; to my recollection, the Alabama hills are no where near the Sierra Mountains...are they???? #1419620Phyllis A. Houghton October 31, 2011
Hi Ann! Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments. This is the south end of the Sierra where Mt Whitney is located and you go through the Alabama Hills to get there. I am so fascinated by the Hills. #9775866Robert R. Goodman November 01, 2011
Hi Phyllis,Beautiful landscape my friend.I read about them years ago and have always wanted to visit the hill.Very stunning clouds!!!!! #9776989Phyllis A. Houghton November 01, 2011
The Alabama Hills are a big surprise the first time you see them as they are different than you would expect. To imagine 400 Westerns being shot there is very interesting. #9777012Karen Celella November 02, 2011
It looks like there is a bucket pouring clouds on the mountains. Terrific, Phyllis. #9778860Phyllis A. Houghton November 02, 2011
What a great description Karen. Thanks so much. #9779067Irene Colling January 08, 2012
The cloud arch interestingly brings the viewers eye to the far mountains.Great POV Phyllis and excellent depth of field. #9909161

Thank you Irene. If I had used a little wider angle. Mt Whitney would have been in the picture. The foreground is the Alabama Hills. #9918387Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
