The Eastern Sierra Nevada is one of my favorite places to visit and photograph. This is the Sierra and Mount Whitney with a reflection on Diaz Lake, just south of Lone Pine, California.

I ventured out one early morning to get set up for this and was rewarded with gorgeous sunrise light on the range, with a gentle breeze on the lake creating an ever so small movement. This capture was taken at around 06:30. I enjoy the different layers starting at the lake, moving through the foothills and up to the mighty peaks of the Sierra Nevada with Mount Whitney, the highest summit in the Lower 48 States of the U.S. at 14,505 feet.
