Autumn in the Eastern Sierra
I was able to get away for 4 days to visit the Sierra's before the snow falls. The aspens were going off. I shot as far north as Sonora Pass, west
to Olmsted Point in Yosemite Park, and south to Mammoth Lakes/Devil's PP. The days were mid 70's and cloudless. Right up there with Baja for
beautiful vistas!

Convict Lake
Great pictures, Ken.

Thanks all for the kind comments!
Bajaguy,
I agree Convict Lake is a great location. This trip I tried to concentrate on locales I hadn't spent alot of time at for some time. Last March we
spent a night at Convict Lake, I actually posted some photos of that stay here.
Ken,
As a photographer yourself, you might find interest in this. When I got to Devil's Postpile it was late morning and the face was dark and in total
shade. I could tell though, that within an hour or so the sun would illuminate the face and make for a great lighting. So I waited until just a few
facets of the basalt columns were lit and I got my shots.
Ken

The Aspens in all their autumn glory!
You followed perhaps my favorite Fall photo shoot route, Ken. I know exactly where you were in the Virginia Lakes shot, have stood there when the
light was just like that. Made my heart sing then, and again when I saw your photograph.
Thanks for posting. A superior trip down memory lane.
I've been smiling since I first saw 'em this morning.

Another great location is the Aspen groves over Monitor Pass (CA State Route 89) and Ebbets Pass (CA State Route 4).........many with 100+ year Basque
carvings.

Thanks, I'll be passing through there in a couple weeks on my way south. Hope there's still some color left.

Nena,
Glad to take you to Virginia Lakes on an autumn morning. Tee shirt weather in October, perfect!!
Funny to see the parking lot at Mono Lake almost full 45 mins before sunrise. Must have been over 20 Photogs with tripods out there.
Tip for anyone traveling through Lee Vining, plan a meal stop at the "Whoa Nellie Deli" at the Mobil station just off 395 on the Tioga Pass road. I
always plan at least one meal when up there. Dinner this trip was sushi rice, seaweed salad topped with seared yellowfin tuna!!! Their lamb shanks
are worthy as well.
Thanks for all the kind comments. I know many Nomads have a fondness for the Easter Sierra as I do.
Ken
