The Owens Valley, from Lone Pine and the Alabama Hills all the way to north of Bishop is a photographers dream. Between the geologic wonders of the Sierras and the White Inyos and the valley in between coupled with the meteorological wonders this topography creates, it just don't get any better.
White Inyos Mountains with some Virga for the dramatic

If you don't want to ski in the rain, picnic in the Alabama Hills west of Lone Pine
Super series! Welcome to UHH, Pc. If you haven't discovered the specialty forums on the forum, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "all sections" to see if there might be additional areas of interest.
Terrific set of landscape photos. I am especially fond of the third one.
Beautiful country. I used to live there. Did you make it up past Bishop? It gets even better. Mammoth, June Lake, Yosemite, Bodie, Mono Lake, etc...
Magnificent is what comes to mind!

It's 'Sierra', not 'Sierras '. My pet peeve!

Spectacular!!! As someone from northern CA, I fondly refer to this area as "The East Side." The sky, scenery, and geology is amazing and truly a photographer's dreamscape! What camera/lens did you use?
Absolutely, it is the valley that runs up the leeward (eastern) side of the Sierra range with the White Inyo range to the east of that.
