Moon Over the Alabama Hills

The Alabama Hills

I had to take a trip down to the Alabama Hills while I was there in Lone Pine. I probably should have gotten up early instead of waiting until evening, but I got a few pictures before the sun went behind the mountains – and I mean fast! One minute the sun was there and the sun was gone.

Had to include the moon for this rock formation. After shooting this, I drove on, but noticed there was no sun. I went back here only to find shade.

I like the juxtaposition between Mount Whitney the larger rocks/piles in the middle ground and the small pile of rocks in the foreground. There wasn’t much color, so I converted this to black and white.
