Just west of Lone Pine California are the Alabama Hills. This is a place of hills and rock formations near the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

There are small streams numerous rock arches and river views for the photographer. This scene was in shade at sunset just off a small road near the hills. It was an odd angle to shoot while trying to get in the lighting effects. the main event seems to be photographing the fall color which is late at this altitude and Mount Whitney as a back drop.
