Mount Williamson from US 395, Near Manzanar, California 1/23/2024 Photos from a short trip to the Alabama Hills, across Death Valley, past Lake Mead and home. The weather forecast was partly cloudy (good for pictures) with no mention of snow (good, too), so took the long way home from a visit to the LA area.

This isn’t an original idea for a photo, it’s a souvenir I made while visiting the location of the famous photograph made in 1944 by Ansel Adams titled “Winter Sunrise, Sierra Nevada from Lone Pine.” I’ve been to this location several times but the picture–with clouds against a dark sky, bright sunlight on the mountains with the foreground hills in shadows–never came together until this trip.
I did a search on Google for “Adams Winter Sunrise” and Google returned about 700,000 results, so lots of information about the print is out there if you are interested.
