In previous posts, I’ve shared my photos from Truckee and Lake Tahoe and Bodie Ghost Town. Today’s post will feature photos I took in Mammoth Lakes, Mono Lake, Bishop, and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. What a beautiful area this is!
Mono Lake is known for its Tufas, mineral deposits that form underwater and kind of look like they belong in a cave! I got here just as the light was really starting to get pretty.
Views of the Eastern Sierra like the one above are commonplace in this area.
Convict Lake, pictured above, is actually quite small. I was able to capture most of the lake in this one shot.
This was my favorite tree. It looks like it’s reaching for the sky!
And hey, the view once you get down the mountain isn’t too bad either. In short, there are no bad views in the Eastern Sierras.
Sunset at Benton Crossing next to the Owens River was beautiful. I heard a coyote howling in the distance, but he never showed his face (and I totally had my 150-600 poised and ready for if he did).
My next post will be dedicated to the gorgeous Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park!
Tools I used to create the photos this post: Canon EOS 6D, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, Adobe Photoshop CS6
